Join us at week's close to honour those who have served and sacrificed so that we may enjoy our lives of relative peace, comfort and freedom.
The Last Post Service takes place every Sunday at 4.45pm on the Shrine's northern forecourt and includes bugle calls and piper, Shrine Guard in historic uniform, a wreath-laying, recital of the Ode and lowering of the flags.
Each week we pause to remember a different event from Australia's military history. We remember the people who took part in those events, and the lives lost or forever changed. Visitors are welcome to lay a floral tribute at the Eternal Flame.
This week we commemorate National Peacekeepers' Day on 14 September. On this date in 1947, Australia became the first nation to deploy peacekeepers as part of a United Nations mission. We honour the service and sacrifice of all Australians who have participated in peacekeeping operations around the world, working to bring stability and security to conflict zones.
