ANZAC Day services in Farrer

by | Apr 16, 2024 | Electorate | 0 comments

ANZAC Day is Australia’s national day to remember all who have served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations on behalf of a proud nation.

April 25 this year also marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day – you can link to my ANZAC day newsletter here for more details on the battle many consider the turning point of World War II. Plus, by popular demand, I’ve included the original ANZAC biscuit recipe for those wanting to try their hand at this traditional treat.

Once again, I encourage you to attend a local march or commemoration in Farrer, with your nearest service listed below.
