ANZAC Day
Lest we forget
At dawn on 25 April 1915, ANZAC troops landed at Gallipoli, starting Australia and New Zealand’s first major action in World War I.
No victory followed. Many thousands lost their lives. But the ANZACs’ courage, endurance and mateship set an example that continues to inspire and unite their nations.

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 and protocol, 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 2023 ANZAC Day Dawn Service in Bowen – hosted by RSL Bowen Sub Branch – to honour all Australians and New Zealanders who have served or sacrificed in wars and conflicts since World War I.
Followed by Gunfire Breakfast.
