Make a break for it! Plan your long weekend getaway and take a little detour – just 30 minutes from Melbourne.
Take a moment to reflect
If you’d like to take a moment on ANZAC Day to reflect and commemorate our veterans who have served and are serving now, you can do so at the War Memorial in Werribee City Centre. This cenotaph was unveiled in 1920 and remains an important site for community gatherings and commemoration.
