4. Fast Facts...
  • Why does Australia pause to remember Anzac Day? It is because on that day, 25 April 1915, Australia as a nation faced the supreme test of quality and courage, the landing of Australian and New Zealand soldiers on the beach at Gallipoli.
  • On this day of rememberence we can express our gratitude to all those men and women then and since, who helped keep our country free from invasion; to acknowledge our debt to these men and women, their wives and husbands, mothers and children and our obligation to those who gave their lives to protect our way of life.
  • ANZAC is an abbreviation for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
  • The first dawn service on an ANZAC Day was in 1923.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, And in the morning.
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget.
