Description

On the corner of Soldiers Settlement Road in the small Hawkes Bay town of Rissington stands tall a hand-carved ANZAC sculpture that was made with a dying redwood tree. Bronwyn Farquharson was one of the local masterminds behind the development of the carving, and joins Dom George on REX Today to look back on the town's long connections to both World Wars, and how they will be commemorating this year's ANZAC day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
