ANZAC Day in Canberra for most means an early morning start and a visit to the Australian War Memorial, followed by a get-together with family and friends. If you’re looking for breakfast after The Dawn Service, where to play the famous two-up, or where to watch the major events happening around Australia and other activities celebrating the historical day, these are our top picks for those who really get around the commemorative day.
