    Posted by Military Voice on Mar 30, 2023 5:25:04 PM

    Anzac Day is a day of remembrance for all Australians and New Zealanders who have served and died in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. It is an important day in the Australian calendar, and people across the country come together to honour the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. 

    To help people plan their Anzac Day commemorations, we have collated information about major cities events from various sources, including the local council, RSL, and social media pages. Any events written in italics use data from previous years. However, it's important to note that some events may still be subject to change or confirmation for 2023. 

    If you plan on attending the dawn services, RSL's LUTD (Light Up The Dawn) products will help you stay safe and be seen in the dark.
