2025 Anzac Day services planned for the South Burnett

South Burnett
Don't miss out on the headlines from South Burnett. Followed categories will be added to My News.
Anzac Day, 25 April, marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
Anzac stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces became known as the Anzacs, and the pride they took in that name endures to this day.
On Anzac Day, remembrance takes two forms – commemorative services are held at dawn, the time of the original landing in Gallipoli, and later in the day, ex-servicemen and women meet to take part in marches through the major cities and in many smaller centres to honour all those who have served.
