Anzac Day: Albany (expired event)

Albany is of significant importance to ANZAC Day in Western Australia — it’s home to the National ANZAC Centre and is reportedly where Australia’s first Dawn Service was conducted.

The following services will be held in Albany and are open to the public with no ticketing requirements:

5:30 am to 6:00 am — Traditional ANZAC Day Dawn Service which will be held at the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial in Mount Clarence. There will be shuttle buses available from 3:30 am onwards in 15-minute intervals departing from the Albany Entertainment Centre and Middleton Beach Bus Port.

6:00 am to 8:30 am — ANZAC Day Gunfire Breakfast held at the Albany Entertainment Centre. Gunfire Breakfast is a long-standing tradition of ANZAC Day and represents the “breakfast” taken by soldiers before facing battle. A $5.00 donation to the RSL is required for this service.

10:00 am to 10:30 am — ANZAC Day Troop March commencing from York Street in Albany.

10:30 to 11:30 am — Commemorative Service held at ANZAC Peace Park.
