Large crowds were present at Anzac Day celebrations across the region on Monday 25 April, honouring the men and women who died in armed conflict while serving Australia.

While the pandemic has impacted services in recent years, this year’s services saw huge attendance from locals.

This year marks 107 years since Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula during World War I.

2022 also marks the 80th anniversaries of several pivotal moments during World War II, such as the bombing of Darwin, the fall of Singapore, and the Kokoda Track campaign against Japanese forces in Papua.
