The Limestone Coast Veterans Hub has created a special rug covered in purple poppies knitted and crocheted by women from the Limestone Coast, as well as Victoria and Tasmania. 

The rug will be worn by Penny the donkey in Mount Gambier's Anzac Day march, raising awareness of the role animals play in war.

Penny's example has spread to Cheshire in England, where donkeys wearing purple poppy rugs will join a local procession for Anzac Day.

Among the sights and sounds of uniformed servicemen and women, veterans and officials marching down the main street of Mount Gambier this Anzac Day will be the hoof-beats of a small grey donkey.
