Saturday 25 April 2026 - Lest We Forget (L)
The Dawn Service on Norfolk Island holds a unique significance as one of the first ANZAC Day commemorations to take place each year in Australia, owing to the island's easterly location. Held on the shores of Emily Bay as the sun rises over the lagoon, the service offers a poignant and intimate setting for remembrance. The gentle lapping of waves and the silhouette of the island's own Lone Pine in the distance create a powerful atmosphere for reflection on the sacrifices made by service men and women, including the many Norfolk Islanders who have served in various conflicts. A Gunfire breakfast for veterans only will follow the service.
Mid-morning veterans and family representatives assemble at the Officer’s Bath in Quality Row to commence the march to the Cenotaph for the mid-morning service. A traditional ANZAC Day lunch is held at the Norfolk Island RSL followed by a game of 2up. Â
