4BC Mornings

Anzac Day events continued over the weekend to remember those who put their lives on the line for Australia and New Zealand. 

Wounded Heroes Australia is an organisation dedicated to supporting defence families facing physical, mental, and financial challenges. 

President of Wounded Heroes Australia, Martin Shaw, told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "I looked after about 33,000 veterans and families in immediate financial crisis."

"Last year, we looked after just over 4200, 1200 of those in Queensland, and facing homelessness."

"Our demand is absolutely huge, and we're just forever fundraising, but understanding also that our space is just in that first response space. And then we'll work with the other organizations for the longer game," Mr Shaw continued.

With the state of the Aussie Dollar, going on a cruise could be one of the best ways to combat the exchange rate when heading overseas.

Brad Kennedy from Cruiseabout told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "cruising is a great way for people to avoid currency fluctuations and bill shock at the end of your trip."

"What we've seen over the last five to ten years is cruise lines really go out and build new products for new customers, there is a cruise ship for everybody."
