Around The South West & WA


Article heading image for Where To Commemorate ANZAC Day 2017

ANZAC Day has grown in importance over the last decade or so, with only a handful of soldiers from World War II still with us, the many people that sacrificed their lives in Vietnam and the growing acknowledgement of soldiers who are still serving our country overseas.

This ANZAC Day, make the time to attend a dawn service or parade, being put on by the RSL WA in many locations around the state.

If you cannot make a dawn service on ANZAC Day, the Southwest's Triple M will be broadcasting the Bunbury Dawn Service from around 5:30am with Cliff Reeve on site.
