As the first golden rays of dawn stretch across Monument Hill in Fremantle, a powerful silence blankets the crowd. Every April 25th at 5:40 am, the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the Fremantle War Memorial begins an emotional and respectful tribute to the men and women who served and sacrificed in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. It’s a moment of reflection, gratitude, and unity, drawing people of all ages to honour the fallen and celebrate the enduring ANZAC spirit.

ANZAC Day commemorates the fateful morning of April 25, 1915, when Australian and New Zealand troops landed on the shores of Gallipoli. The courage, resilience, and mateship displayed that day became the foundation of a legacy that still inspires the nation. Today, ANZAC Day has evolved to honour all who have served in any capacity across generations, recognising their commitment to duty and their lasting impact on our freedoms.

At Fremantle’s War Memorial, the Dawn Service begins in near-total darkness mirroring the conditions faced by those who landed at Gallipoli. As candles flicker and wreaths are laid in reverence, the haunting notes of the Last Post fill the air. Veterans, serving personnel, descendants, and community members stand together in solemn silence. Prayers are offered, anthems are sung, and the silence speaks louder than words ever could.

The service is deeply personal for many. Veterans wear their medals with pride, families hold framed portraits of loved ones, and children, some attending for the first time, learn the value of remembrance. Monument Hill, with its panoramic view over Fremantle and the sea beyond, provides a stunning and fitting backdrop to this symbolic and emotional gathering.

The atmosphere is respectful, heartfelt, and inspiring capturing the essence of what it means to be part of a community that remembers. As the sun rises behind the memorial, it not only lights up the sky but also the shared commitment to never forget those who gave everything for our future.

Attending the ANZAC Day Dawn Service in Fremantle is more than a tradition it’s a powerful promise to preserve the memory of our heroes. It’s a moment to pause, to connect, and to pass the ANZAC values to the next generation.

Lest we forget.
