ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Coogee Beach

More than 20,000 Sydneysiders join this eastern suburbs service by the beach, reflecting in pre-dawn darkness before watching the spectacular sunrise. Starting at 5.30am, the program includes a catafalque contingent, an Ode of Remembrance, Last Post bugle call, a minute's silence, a bugle Reveille and wreath laying. Formalities will be lead by the Coogee Randwick Clovelly RSL, and local cafés will be open early to serve the crowds. Parking is limited, so set your alarms early or prepare for a walk. Limited accessible parking is available to pre-book for people with mobility impairments.
