5.45am – Dawn Service, followed by a light breakfast at the Soldiers’ Memorial Hall (163 Bradley Street, Guyra)

Members of No.1 Squadron RAAF Amberley will attend the ANZAC Day services and a fly-past by No. 1 Squadron RAAF is scheduled for 11.00am. Members of the community are asked to be aware that this fly-past will be quite noisy.

The ANZAC Day Commemorative Address will be given by Major Erin Archibald. Erin who was born and educated in Guyra and has a long connection with Guyra’s military history through her many family members who have served. After the official wreath-laying, anyone wishing to lay a memorial tribute is invited to do so. There will be a ‘bucket brigade’ with VRA members circulating amongst the crowd during both the Dawn Service and the Main Service to raise much needed funds for the Guyra Sub-branch of the RSL so that the RSL can continue to support veterans and their families.
The Guyra RSL Sub-branch encourages main street businesses to join in commemorating ANZAC Day by doing a window display of memorabilia.

Bradley Street from Moredun Street to the southern side of the Soldier’s Memorial Hall, will be closed between 5.30 and 7.00am. Road closures will be implemented along Bradley Street from Ollera Street to the southern side of the Soldier’s Memorial Hall between 10.00am and 12.00pm. Roads will reopen progressively once the march has passed and it is safe to do so. Motorists are advised to expect short delays and to follow directions of traffic controllers and NSW Police to ensure access for emergency services is maintained.
