Join in the thousands of people showing their respect for all Australians who served and died in all wars at one of the ANZAC Day events across the Mornington Peninsula.

ANZAC Day ceremonies on the Peninsula and most likely Australia wide have been seeing an increased number of people attending, including parents and grandparents of young children trying to instil the ANZAC qualities of the human spirit, courage, mateship, and sacrifice that are all important in today's society.
