ANZAC Day arrangements

The commemoration of ANZAC Day in Barraba will commence with our dawn service which will be held at the memorial clock in Queen Street.

This service will assemble at 5:45 am with the service to commence at 6.00AM. At the conclusion of this service breakfast will be provided by the Barraba RSL & Recreation Club Limited.

The main service will assemble in Queen Street opposite Andy’s Guest House at 10:45 and them march to the Memorial Clock with the main service to commence at 11:00am. 

This year we commemorate the 105^th year since the end of World War 1 and 50 years since the end of Australian involvement in the Vietnam war.

In the last two years we have seen increasing conflict in the world with the continuation of the war in Ukraine and tensions arising with China and it’s claims in relation to Taiwan.

Conflict in Africa never seems to end and the rise of dictatorial regimes throughout the world contribute to a sense of uneasiness.

In these uncertain times we need to remember that freedom is never easily won, and we remember those who have lost their lives in defence of this fundamental right.  We particularly remember those who have served from Barraba and District.

Again, we remember those that continue to serve in ongoing conflicts and thank them for their commitment.
