Mrs Haley created the blanket after finding the design at the markets and wanting to do it justice.

Mrs Haley said Anzac Day meant a lot to her because her late dad fought in the war.

"For me it's a day to remember my dad who fought," she said.

"Dad always went to the dawn and day service and then we didn't see him for the rest of the day, but that's alright."

After Mrs Haley's father passed away she was given his war records but couldn't understand them.

"They were all in war terms that I didn't understand, but I met a man from the Australian Army who said I could send the documents to him and he would help me understand them," she said.

"We found out so much about dad from this man, like how my father served in Kakoda and other places he wouldn't talk about.

"So Anzac day just really means a lot to me."
