Anzac Day – 25 April
ANZAC Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day we remember all Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity. On ANZAC day, ceremonies are held in towns and cities across the nation to acknowledge the service of our veterans.
A memorial service is held by the Margaret River Sub-Branch of the RSL commencing at 11.15 am with a parade in the main street to the Memorial Park.
The Karridale- Augusta RSL Sub-branch hold a ceremony at Augusta’s Memorial Park commencing at 11 am.
Both hold dawn services' Full details of the ceremonies are advertised in the local press.
For further information on the Anzac Day ceremony go to the Australian War Memorial website.
