🌺🪖 ANZAC Day Dawn Service 2026
ANZAC day is one of Australia’s most significant national days of remembrance. It commemorates the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers at Gallipoli during World War I in 1915. More broadly, we remember all Australians who have served and died in military conflicts, peacekeeping operations, and other service. The day embodies the "ANZAC spirit" and qualities like courage, mateship, and sacrifice.
We remember the history and cost of war for all involved, the ongoing sacrifices of military families, and reflect on the freedoms and privilege we have in times of peace.
