A crowd of more than 32,000 people gathered in the dark this morning at the Australian War Memorial for the Anzac Day Dawn Service, commemorating the 109th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.
The smell of burning gum leaves will permeate a former Japanese POW camp this Anzac Day as relatives of the diggers who suffered and died there seek closure.
Anzac Day is only a few weeks away, and the Australian War Memorial is encouraging people to prepare for the 108th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.
