Today, Australians around the world are coming together to mark the National Day of Mourning. Across cities, countries and time zones, we pause to remember, to reflect, and to stand in solidarity with all those affected by the Bondi Beach tragedy. Australians can mark the occasion by: 🕯️ Lighting a candle at home or in a window as a symbol of remembrance ⏸️ Observing a minute’s silence at 7:01 pm AEDT, or the equivalent time wherever you are 🤍 Performing an act of kindness, inspired by the Jewish tradition of mitzvah — small, compassionate actions that honour life, support others, and strengthen community
