Handmade flowers and wreaths made by children and family groups were displayed along the route of what would have been the usual march from the Magnetic Island RSL to the war memorial at Alma Bay . Poppies were made from a variety of materials , including cupcake shells and wooden spoons .
An unusual wreath featuring hearts and butterflies was photographed at the memorial by Vallis . A flower had apparently been made from coconut tree husk .
Two days later, beautiful Alma Bay beach seemed to have responded to reveille , the surf springing to life , more than one pine visible .
