How to mark ANZAC Day at home

There are many ways to mark ANZAC Day this Saturday 25 April.

While we can't physically attend services and gather with others, we can still show our respect from home.

The City of Greater Geelong has 88 commemorative banners currently installed across the region and will lower flags and turn the catenary lights red on the day.

Local RSL branches have made private arrangements for ANZAC Day and ask the public to follow current social distancing and mass gathering restrictions and stay home.

Here's how you can participate in ANZAC Day this year:
