Anzac service at Empire Bay

The Empire Bay community will conduct an Anzac Day Service at the Cenotaph near the waterfront on April 25, from 11am.

Empire Bay Anzac Committee member Mr Geoff Melville said last year's service saw overwhelming participation from the community.

"The service is conducted annually and last year attracted around 500 people with over 20 wreaths laid by ex-Serviceman, and children representing their fathers and grandfathers and wearing their medals," Mr Melville said.

"Anzac Day is a very important event in our calendar.

"Recently we won a Federal grant to have the cenotaph restored and we have pleasure in continuing to unite to commemorate this special day."
