The 2024 gatherings will include traditional dawn services, marches and main services across the Macleay Valley.
As part of our tradition, wreaths will be laid at cenotaphs and ceremonies will be held to pay homage to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, the Anzacs.
We also remember with great sadness the large number who did not return. Lest we forget.
