Listen as we reflect on the historical landing at Gallipoli in 1915 and the enduring impact of the brave souls who served and perished in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping missions.

We discuss the shared sense of unity and respect this solemn day fosters among Australians and New Zealanders. From the emotional Anzac Day services to symbolic tributes like the Anzac Bridge and the poignant last post, experience the national pride and gratitude conveyed through these commemorations.

Discover personal stories of valour like those of Albert Jacker and John Simpson Kirkpatrick, and how their bravery resonates today.
