2Up

It is a game that is synonymous with Anzac Day.
In most parts of Australia, two-up is illegal on every day of the year except the anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign.
  • The game of two-up is synonymous with Australian soldiers, but was not invented by them
  • It was the game of choice for returned servicemen in the post-war years and later picked up by miners
  • Two-up become a pastime on Anzac Day where it recognises the Australian diggers' spirit
Following the ANZAC Day service at Creswick, 2Up was conducted outside the RSL Hall.

Ode of Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
