Communities all over New Zealand are marking ANZAC Day in their own way - including on Rakiura-Stewart Island where a memorial commemorates those lost in the two World Wars.  

Susana talks to Mike Douglass, Senior firefighter with the Oban Volunteer Fire Service, who organised today's Anzac Day Dawn Service at Half Moon Bay.
