ANZAC Day holds a special place on the Rottnest Island calendar. With a long military history, we commemorate all who have served and continue to serve.

Wadjemup / Rottnest Island played an important role in the First and Second World Wars, and there are many places of historical significance that can still be seen on the island today. Many generations of families also hold an important connection to the island with ancestors who were stationed on the island during WWI and WWII.

Join us to reflect and mark this important day of remembrance with services on the foreshore of Thomson Bay.

This event is free, but registration is required. Please note children must be accompanied by an adult.

Registrations coming soon. Sign up to our email newsletter to be the first to know.
