ANZAC DAY 2025

24/04/2025

Anzac Day is our national day of commemoration.

On Friday 25 April 2025, the Australian War Memorial will mark the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, as well as commemorating all Australians who have served in times of peace and war. 

Memorial stone with Atatürk’s letter to the mothers of the soldiers who died, located next to the Anzac cemetery at Anzac Cove.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them …
Laurence Binyon, Ode of Remembrance

At dawn they gather.
The old men wearing their grandads’ medals,
The little ones wearing their grandads’ grandads’ medals.
And we buy the little red poppy pins,
And we spare a thought for Simpson’s donkey.
And we wonder about the world today,
How to stop war and the waste of young lives
How to honour the sacrifice of the brave
And the ones who came back scarred
And never talked about it.
Listen to the bugler –
The Last Post is never the last.
Lest We Forget.
