Next week, communities across the region will come together to mark Remembrance Day, a special day dedicated to honouring the courage, service and sacrifice of the men and women who have served our country.

‍

At 11am on November 11th, Australians will pause to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and reflect on the lasting impact of their service.

If you’re planning to attend a local commemoration, here’s your guide to where and when Remembrance Day ceremonies will be held across the Cassowary Coast.
