THIS Saturday will mark only the second time Ballarat\u2019s Anzac dawn service has been majorly impacted since the annual tradition began.<\/p>\n

The first interruption was in 1919, when the Spanish flu meant a service wasn\u2019t at all possible, and this year sees the limitations of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

But Ballarat RSL president, Alan Douglass said his group has been determined to coordinate a 6am event of some form, with the help of contemporary broadcasting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re conducting a service at 3BA over the air,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrett Macdonald from 3BA will MC the service, the mayor will be in attendance giving a talk, I will be saying The Ode<\/em>, Bishop Garry Weatherill will say a prayer, and bugler Tamara Barrett will play The Last Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be one minute\u2019s silence, The Rouse<\/em>, I\u2019ll say \u2018lest we forget,\u2019 before the first part of the national anthem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although remote, Mr Douglass said organisers want the community to make themselves a part of the audio formalities. As the service is delivered live from Lydiard Street, Ballarat RSL hopes the city gets on board Aussies & Kiwis for Anzacs movement, Driveway at Dawn.<\/p>\n

\u201cTune in on the radio, take it outside, light a candle at the end of your driveway or at your front gate, and you will be part of the commemoration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe value is that you\u2019re able to be part of a service to remember those who went to war and sacrificed their life. Anzac Day is one of the most important, national occasions.\u201d<\/p>\n

3BA general manager, John Fitzgibbon said any opportunity for connectedness is important during the current \u201ccrisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnzac Day is one of those hugely important moments. This means a lot for the team here to be able to mark this day with a local dawn service, and we hope that it means as much for the Ballarat community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Find the Ballarat dawn service on the radio at 6am via 3BA, 102.3FM. Mr Douglass will also lay a wreath at the Ballarat Cenotaph.<\/p>\n

Each year, 25 April marks the anniversary of World War One\u2019s initial major military actions fought by Australians and New Zealanders.<\/p>\n

RSL Victoria is asking residents to donate to their largest annual veterans\u2019 support fundraiser, the Anzac Appeal, via anzacappeal.com.au<\/strong><\/a>, as their team of volunteers will not be on the streets this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
