ANZAC Day commemorations provides us with an opportunity to remember those who have fought and served in all wars; conflicts and peace operations, and remember the more than 100,000 who have given their lives in service.
The story of war encompasses more than those who fought and currently serve, it includes those who remain behind. The women and men whose wives and husbands enlist, the mothers and fathers who wonder at their son or daughter’s fate, the children who miss out on having their father, mother or family around. War touches many of us and continues to do so today.
Here is how we are marking ANZAC Day in 2022:
ANZAC Commemorations: Overnight Vigil

Held on Sunday 24 March from 7:30pm till 8:30pm, the ANZAC Day Overnight Vigil belongs to our young people – and is a perfect way to ensure your kids understand the importance of ANZAC Day and are still be in bed at a reasonable hour.
The Overnight Vigil is coordinated by local service groups including Ridley District Scouts, Playford District Girl Guides, St John Ambulance Cadets, Dalkeith Country Fire Service Cadets and Elizabeth Pathfinders Club, an opening ceremony marks the beginning of the Overnight Vigil which sees community groups guard the memorial, known as the cenotaph.
