Up to it

If you love playing two up on ANZAC Day, there’s great news for you in 2022.

The game usually legal only one day of the year will be allowed for the entire ANZAC Day long weekend this year.

NSW Veterans’ Minister David Elliott said this year’s restrictions were eased due to ANZAC Day closures over the past two years. 

'This year not only marks the first year since the Australian Defence Force's withdrawal from Afghanistan but is also the first time, since 2019, that veterans will be able to reconnect with mates to attend their annual reunions free of restrictions,'  NSW veterans minister David Elliott said.

'These Anzac Day events are vital for the welfare of our vets, and many of them were very distressed by missing or inhibiting commemorations over the past two years, so the NSW government is giving them their two days back.'

Two up is big in Paddington each year with pubs including The Royal Hotel and the Paddo Inn playing the game on ANZAC Day.
