ANZAC Day Dubbo 2025 was, using an Aussie saying that honours yesterday and today, a beauty.

From the almost still calm (and warm for this time of year) of the very well-attended Dawn Service, to the March and again well-attended 10.30am Service, locals and visitors gathered to remember and give thanks.

We were privileged to be part of the centenary of the Dubbo War Memorial Cenotaph and to honour the 100 years it has been a landmark in Victoria Park, 256 crosses were shared with attendees at the 10.30am Service, each cross representing a person from Dubbo and districts who had lost their life during wartime.

The Address from Wing Commander Martin Keer, RAAF, and a flyover from the Royal Australian Air Force No.1 Flying Training School (1FTS) currently based at Dubbo Regional Airport were added highlights.

Well done to Dubbo RSL Sub Branch for organising a memorable commemoration, and to Dubbo Regional Council for making sure Victoria Park was looking a picture.

Lest We Forget.
