ANZAC Day will be commemorated on Friday 25 April, with dawn and morning services held across the region.

The annual public holiday observes the anniversary of the World War I Dardanelles Campaign Landing of Australian and New Zealand forces in 1915.

State MP for Finniss David Basham says Anzac Day is a time to reflect on all those who have served and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in all conflicts involving Australians.

“It is a day to be grateful for the courage and sacrifice made by all who died or were injured in their service to our nation. Like many, I have relatives who have served, and it is important to honour their memory.”

Here is a list of many remembrance events on the day, where the community can attend to pay respect.
