At pubs around the country, people are watching pairs of coins tossed in the air for the classic ANZAC Day tradition of playing two-up.
In most parts of Australia it’s illegal to play this quintessentially Australian game any day other than ANZAC Day.
But one pub in Broken Hill – the far west New South Wales mining town near the border South Australia – it's played legally every Friday night.
