ANZAC Day 2026
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. ANZAC Day commemorates the 1915 Gallipoli landing during the First World War. This eight-month campaign resulted in significant Australian casualties, with around 8,700 soldiers losing their lives.
The brave men who served on the Gallipoli Peninsula forged a legacy, introducing the term ‘ANZAC‘ into our language and embodying the spirit of ANZAC, characterised by values of mateship, endurance, good humour and service, which continue to unite all Australians today.
