More than 2500 people gathered at Mount Macedon for its annual Anzac Day Dawn Service to honor the sacrifice and service of veterans.
The dawn service was held at the memorial cross at 6 am and shared stories from Woodend residents who served in World War II.
Event Manager, Jamie Byron said the strong turnout reinforces the community support for local service men and women.
“More than 2500 people gathered for the Dawn Service at the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross,’ Mr Byron said.
“[This] reinforces the strong support our service has through honouring those local service men and women who have served our nation.”
“This includes the story of three generations of Woodend residents –Allan Cameron Andison senior and junior and Allan’s son, Gary, our bugler whose story was featured as part of this years’ service.”
Veterans Minister Natalie Suleyman was also in attendance at the Dawn Service.
