Anzac Day

Every year, Australians gather in unity to honor the fallen Anzac soldiers. This heartfelt tradition is observed at Anzac memorial services, where individuals take a moment to reflect on and remember the courageous Australian and New Zealander soldiers who fought in numerous wars and conflicts throughout history.

These services not only provide an opportunity to commemorate the lives of those who gave everything for their country but also serve as a powerful reminder of the cost of freedom and peace. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and respect as we recognise the selflessness of these heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of their nation and values.

For those wishing to honour and pay their respects, the following nearby services are scheduled:

Dawn Parade - Fall in at Mafeking Tree at 4.15am (in front of Ingham Police Station), march to cenotaph for service.

Forrest Beach – parade to commence at 7.00am from Corbett Park near Forrest Beach Surf Life Saving Club march to the memorial.

Halifax - parade to commence at 8.00am, march to Lions Clock and back to cenotaph.

Ingham – parade to commence at 9.30am, march from Rotary Park to cenotaph.
