Large crowd at dawn service

The Anzac Day dawn service at Bunjil Place this year saw a large crowd paying their respects with about 3000 locals in attendance.

The Anzac Day address and Ode to the Fallen were delivered by the president of the Berwick RSL, Pam Phillips.

City of Casey administrator Cameron Boardman also spoke.

Lysterfield Lake College Choir sang the New Zealand and Australian national anthems.

Following the service, a Gunfire Breakfast was held in the Function Centre at Bunjil Place. About 150 members of the public, including veterans and their families, were invited to have a sit down breakfast, which was donated by the Rotary Club of Narre Warren.

City of Casey administrator Miguel Belmar spoke at the breakfast.

City of Casey chair of administrators Noelene Duff PSM said Anzac Day was a very special day in Australia’s calendar and an important day to commemorate.

“The City of Casey has a long tradition of acknowledging Anzac Day, and we are proud to support our local RSLs and community groups so residents can come together to reflect and remember with pride, the Anzacs and the Anzac spirit that was first forged at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915,” she said.
