A Dawn Service was held at Camp Phoenix, where official guests included the Minister for Defence Science and Personnel, The Hon. Warren Snowdon, MP, The Australian and New Zealand Ambassadors and other dignitaries. Members of the Australian and New Zealand community were also in attendance as well as several members of the local Turkish community. Approximately 300 people attended the ceremony.
