Mount Macedon ANZAC Day Dawn Service

Next date: Saturday, 25 April 2026 | 06:00 AM to 07:00 AM

The 2026 Mount Macedon Anzac Day Dawn Service will again take place on 25 April at the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross.

The MC for the service will be Kyneton Royal Australian Navy Veteran Luke Bordonaro, and students from local schools will read stories and accounts from local veterans.

The service commences at 6am at the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross and runs for approximately an hour.

Free shuttle buses run from Tony Clarke Reserve in Macedon from 4.15am as roads to the Cross are shut to public traffic for the morning for the safety of attendees.

Plenty of parking is available at Tony Clarke Reserve and free bus services will also run from Gisborne, Woodend, Sunbury, Kyneton, Riddells Creek, Lancefield and Romsey. The timetables for the town buses will be available at Mt Macedon Anzac Day Dawn Service website along with details of how to book. Attendees are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring a water bottle and torch.

A sausage sizzle will be available and a gold coin donation would be appreciated.

MMADDS thanks its sponsors including the Victorian Government through Victorian Veterans Council, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Bendigo Community Bank Gisborne and Region, Public Transport Victoria, Gisborne Region Events Activities & Tourism and KGMG Creative.

Thanks also goes to the organisations that help the service come together and run smoothly on the day including CFA, SES, Victoria Police, Parks Victoria, Woodend Scouts and the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross Reserve Committee of Management.
