The Anzac Day dawn service is usually held at a town cenotaph, or at a memorial park, or in Canberra at the Australian War Memorial.
Later in the day, people will join the Anzac Day march and parade.

Anzac Day marks the first landing of Diggers from the Australian Imperial Force at Gaba Tepe, now known as Anzac Cove, on April 25, 1915.
Twenty thousand Australian soldiers landed just before dawn on the Gallipoli peninsula.
The Gallipoli campaign claimed the lives of 8000 Australian soldiers; Anzac Days remember their courage and provide a nation with an opportunity to reflect on our first major military action during World War I.
Lest we forget.
