Features

Celebrating the Anzac spirit

As dawn breaks over our nation on the morning of 25 April 2007, thousands of Australians, both young and old, will rise, remove their hats and stand tall as a lone bugler plays the Last Post in commemorative services across the country, just like generations before.

From past to present

In 2001, Australia’s centenary year of Federation, the then-Governor-General, Sir William Deane, wrote that, "As we look back across the first 100 years of our nation, we Australians cannot but be moved by the number of times our fellow countrymen and women have been prepared to lay down their lives or to encounter injury, danger or hardship in the armed service of their country."

Harnessing the Anzac spirit behind the scenes

Australian military forces have fought with honour in all major conflicts across the globe since Australia's Federation in 1901, and earlier as representatives of the British Colonies.
