Your guide to ANZAC Day services and events.
Tuesday 25th April 2023 is ANZAC Day, one of our country’s most pivotal national holidays where we gather to pay our respects to the courageous fallen servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives for the greater good. It’s the day where even non-morning folk are up-and-at-it before the birds – and wouldn’t have it any other way. This year will mark the 108th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, and the bravery and heroic actions of these selfless souls will never be forgotten.
The Gold Coast hosts a number of dawn services, plus opportunities for us all to come together afterward with friends and family, share a drink and a game of two up.
Lest we forget.
