    Australian Army soldier standing at a dawn service

    Join us to commemorate

    At dawn on 25 April 1915, ANZAC troops landed at Gallipoli, starting a legacy that would live long after them. 

    The ANZAC Day Dawn Service echoes this moment, and the moment many a soldier has stood to arms. 

    Steeped in tradition, the Dawn Service is a poignant ceremony featuring the laying of wreaths, sounding of the Last Post and observance of a minute's silence.

    Join the ANZAC Day Dawn Service in Balgal Beach – hosted by Rollingstone RSL Sub Branch – to honour all Australians and New Zealanders who have served or sacrificed in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations since World War I.

    Join us for our ANZAC Day Services including:

    Light refreshments after the Dawn Service at the Rollingstone Hotel.

    A bus has been hired to transport guests from the Landing to the Hotel and will return guests to the Esplanade Fisherman’s Landing in preparation for the March.
