We have put together your ultimate guide to ANZAC Day in Lane Cove.

Lane Cove ANZAC Day Service

The Lane Cove ANZAC Day Service commences promptly at 7.30am. It’s a good idea to be there by 7.20am. The service runs for an hour or so, finishing around 8.30am. This allows Veterans to go to the city to march in the parade. This year we will hear from members of the Dettmann family. G.R. (Paddy) Dettmann served during WWI. There is a street named after the family in Longuevillle.

The weather on Monday is forecast to be partly cloudy. Winds are forecast to be south to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h becoming light before dawn. If it’s raining the service will be held in the Library. It can be nippy in the morning at the Plaza so rug up in layers.

The Lane Cove RSL Sub-Branch and the Lane Cove Council put a great deal of effort into the ceremony so please come along and remember Lane Cove locals who served to protect our country. If you would like to know more about the planning of the service and the man behind it read our blog here.
