About Anzac Day
Anzac Day on 25 April is a national day of remembrance for Australians who served in wars and conflicts.
Remembrance Day on 11 November is a day of commemoration, not a public holiday.
How Australians Observe Anzac Day
Anzac Day is one of the most genuinely observed public holidays in Australia. Dawn services are held at war memorials in every city, town, and suburb. The RSL march follows mid-morning, and a two-up game at the local pub is a legal tradition unique to the day. It's less about celebration and more about acknowledgement.
