Mount Macedon Anzac Day Dawn Service 2024

The 2024 Mount Macedon Anzac Day Dawn Service will take place on April 25 at the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross.

We invite you to attend and help acknowledge this year’s theme, ‘Honouring Every Role, Every Sacrifice’, showcasing the different ways that Australians have served, and continue to serve, in wartime, conflict or peacekeeping.

The service commences at 6am and runs for approximately an hour. Free shuttle buses run from Tony Clarke Reserve in Macedon from 4.15am as roads to the Cross are shut to public traffic for the morning for the safety of attendees (no booking required).

Plenty of parking is available at Tony Clarke Reserve. A free town bus service will also run from Gisborne, Woodend, Sunbury, Kyneton, Riddells Creek, Lancefield and Romsey. The timetables for the town buses will be available on the Mt Macedon Anzac Day Dawn Service website closer to the date (and bookings for town buses are essential).

Attendees are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring a water bottle, torch and cash to purchase a snack or drink on the day, with any donations also appreciated.

MMADDS thanks its sponsors including the Victorian Government through Victorian Veterans Council, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Bendigo Community Bank Gisborne and Region, Public Transport Victoria, Gisborne Region Events Activities & Tourism and KGMG Creative. Thanks also goes to the organisations that help the service come together and run smoothly on the day including CFA, SES, Victoria Police, Parks Victoria, Woodend Scouts and the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross Reserve Committee of Management.
