Whether you choose to attend a dawn service, join a local march, or simply pause for a moment of reflection, your participation honors the legacy of service and sacrifice that defines the ANZAC spirit. These ceremonies, from Kings Park to small community gatherings, offer spaces for veterans, families, and all Australians to connect with our shared history. As the Last Post echoes and wreaths are laid, we stand together in gratitude for those who served yesterday and those who continue to serve today. Lest we forget.
