Lest We Forget | Anzac Day 2009
Saturday April 25 is ANZAC Day, the day where all of Australia pauses to remember our soldiers.
While the day may commemorate when the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915, today it’s an opportunity for us to remember all those who bravely went into combat to defend Australia’s freedom. It’s a day which pays tribute to the great ANZAC spirit inside all of us, the courage, endurance, and mateship we all possess.
Sydney will pay tribute to the ANZACs and all servicemen and women with the following activities. Stop by and pay your respects!
8:30 am – Consular wreath laying ceremony at Martin Place’s Cenotaph
9:30 am – ANZAC Day March starting at Martin Place, following along George Street and Bathurst Street before finishing at Hyde Park.
