It's dad's special day this Sunday and while we remain under stay-at-home orders, it will certainly be a Father's Day with a difference.

Lockdown means that many of us won't be able to see our dads to celebrate their day, hug them and tell them in person how much we love them.
Sadly many will be reflecting on special memories of a father who has passed away.
Others will have to give recognition to their dad from a distance due to the current COVID restrictions across NSW.
Meanwhile, there will be some paying tribute to a step father, grandfather or other special person who has played a significant role in their life.
One thing is certain it is a day to celebrate great father figures everywhere.
So to create a little cheer and take the focus off the obvious, we're asking you to send in your happy dad snaps for us to share.
Just email your pic with the names of those in the photo and tell us in one sentence what your dad means to you.
We will include the photos in a gallery which we will put on line on Father's Day.
Send your pics to donnasharpe@austcommunitymedia.com.au and type Father's Day photos into the subject line.
