Jimmy Barnes took a night off last night, but he's back with more music from his lounge room.

It's a cover of the 1963 Burt Bacharach and Hal David song (They Long to Be) Close to You, most famously recorded by The Carpenters in 1970.

Here's a curve ball for you tonight. I put Jane right off but we're getting it out there warts and all. This is one for Leith. Tune in to @channel9 for #MusicfromtheHomeFront tomorrow. Thanks to our entertainment community for pulling together in the Anzac spirit. Full vid on FB pic.twitter.com/PB6C6eFtvG

Night has fallen now across the entire continent.

Usually hundreds of thousands of Australians would be up before sunrise tomorrow to join Anzac day dawn services and to honour those who serve and have served. But coronavirus means this year will be different.

While the day has had its elements of public ritual since 1916, much early Anzac Day commemoration was private rather than public, sometimes conducted at the gravesides of Australian soldiers buried in cemeteries in Britain and Australia. Women were prominent in these efforts, honouring the memories of men they might or might not have known by placing flowers on their tombs.

There are other echoes of the past. Anzac Day in 1919 was also disrupted by a major crisis in public health. In New South Wales, where the rate of infection from Spanish influenza was high and the number of deaths - approaching 1,000 by Anzac Day - was alarming, the government had banned public meetings.
