Set for Thursday, 25 April 2025, the service will begin at 6:00 a.m, with attendees asked to assemble from 5:45 a.m. The ceremony will include time-honoured elements such as the laying of wreaths, the sounding of the Last Post, a minute’s silence, and a heartfelt reflection on the legacy of service. It is a moving occasion that offers an opportunity for quiet remembrance in a peaceful and significant setting.
Toowong Memorial Park, with its sweeping views and historical monuments, provides a fitting location to reflect on the values of courage, mateship, and sacrifice that define the ANZAC spirit. The event is open to all, and the Toowong RSL Sub Branch encourages families, veterans, and members of the broader community to attend and stand together in honour of those who have served and those who continue to serve.
There is no greater way to pay tribute than by commemorating together, as a united community. Whether you are connected to the military through family, friends, or simply a desire to show respect, your presence will contribute to a shared moment of gratitude and remembrance.
Parking is available at Toowong Village for those attending. For more information about the service, please contact Tim Robb at (07) 3155 6086 or via email at secretary@toowong.rslqld.net.au.

A Legacy Remembered
The Dawn Service honours the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915—an event that marked the beginning of the ANZAC legend. This year’s ceremony marks the 110th anniversary of that first major military campaign involving Australian and New Zealand forces in World War I. While those soldiers may be gone, their sacrifice lives on in every Dawn Service held across the nation.
Lest we forget.
