Not sure how to spend this Anzac Day? We’ve compiled an easy-breezy guide to ensure your Anzac Day is a cause for celebration and commemoration.
By Guest Styler | 21st April 2015ANZAC Day is the national day of remembrance for all troops who have served or are still currently serving our country. Dawn services and marches are held all around Australia for those who wish to pay their respects.
This year marks the centenary year of remembrance for the ANZACS who fought and died for our country and New Zealand in Gallipoli. If you’ve never been one to rise before the sun to attend a dawn service, this is the year to finally do it and pay your respects to our fallen soldiers, and those currently serving our country.

Visitors and residents can also attend the annual parade, which commences at 10am promptly and will take place on the corner of George and Queen Streets.
