This Anzac Day thousands of Australians and New Zealanders will come together at services across the nation to reflect on those who died and the sacrifices made by our veterans and serving Defence Force members.
Anzac Day is a national day of commemoration in Australia and New Zealand, and this year marks 110 years since the end of World War 1 .
At 9am, more than 10,000 veterans and serving members of the Defence Force will file past the Anzac Memorial. The public can show their support by lining Elizabeth St, with the march expected to finish at Liverpool St about 12.30pm. It’s a day to be proud of those who are serving and those who served our country.

Anzac on Torrens begins at 10am as the first veterans finish their March. A traditional two-up ring will be operating and drinks and food will be available. West Australian Governor Chris Dawson will host a gunfire breakfast in the gardens of Government House from 7am until 9am, then hundreds of current and former Defence Force members will file down St George’s Terrace for the Anzac Day march.
