Join us at the week’s close to remember those who have served and sacrificed so that we may enjoy our lives of relative peace, comfort and freedom.
This 15-minute service takes place every Sunday* at 4:45pm and includes bugle calls and piper, Shrine Guard in historic uniform, a wreath-laying, recital of the Ode, and lowering of the flags.
This family-friendly event is the perfect way to end your day at the Shrine or a day out in Melbourne.
Each service commemorates a different event from Australia's military history.
(*No Last Post Service is conducted when Christmas Day falls on a Sunday)
