This is the final year of the official 5-year commemoration of World War 1, and we plan to make this year’s ANZAC service the pinnacle event, with a re-enactment of our local soldiers' ‘Homecoming’ in 1919. So it will b e “All Aboard!” on 25th April for a steam train excursion, from Feilding to Halcombe, for our spectacular ANZAC parade and service, followed by lunch, with war memorabilia on display and an art exhibition in the Halcombe Memorial Hall.

This ANZAC Day, Thursday 25th April 2019, travel by F163 steam locomotive from Feilding to Halcombe and return. Come in period costume! Stay for the day! The train departs Feilding at 8.30am; then leaves Halcombe at 2pm. Our ANZAC Parade begins at 10.30am, the service follows at 10.45am, then lunch and refreshments. Train tickets are $30 each and are on sale now.

Halcombe and its community.

Halcombe is situated 12 km north west of Feilding, and 4 km east of the Rangitikei River, in the Manawatu region of New Zealand. Once the main railway junction in the central North Island and destined to grow into a major township before development shifted to Palmerston North, today Halcombe is a small but thriving rural settlement with over 500 residents. Included in the wider Halcombe district are the communities of Stanway, Tokorangi, and Kakariki.

Central to the village area is the historic war memorial, a tavern, cafe, Memorial Hall, public domain, playground,  volunteer Fire and Emergency brigade, Taumata o te Ra Marae, Halcombe Playcentre, and Halcombe School.
The surrounding farmland is predominately used for a variety of livestock farming and cropping, with an increasing number of lifestyle blocks.

The Halcombe community is strong and growing. Residents are drawn to the rural lifestyle and "village atmosphere" of Halcombe and enjoy living in this vibrant, caring community. Halcombe gives residents the benefit of a rural lifestyle with an easy commute to Feilding, Palmerston North and Ohakea.
