While the brave men were fighting overseas, it was mainly the women who held the fort at home. They took on roles traditionally reserved for men, working in factories, farms, and hospitals, all while managing households and caring for families.
Anzac biscuits, a symbol of wartime resilience and ingenuity, were created by women back then. These hearty, nourishing treats were sent to soldiers on the front lines, providing a taste of home and a reminder of the love and support waiting for them.
Step back in time to the days of resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering courage. This Anzac Day, “Left Bank Melbourne” invites you to honour the spirit of these remarkable women who stood strong on the home front, embodying the true essence of strength and fortitude during wartime. As we pay tribute to their enduring legacy, we proudly present our special offer, "Diggers Have Daughters Too."
“Left Bank Melbourne” celebrates these unsung heroes with a unique cocktail and roast lunch experience. Join us on Anzac Day as we raise a toast to the extraordinary women who surely played a vital role in history.
Of course, beers and all the usual menu items are available.
