The RSL is about serving, supporting and honouring all service men and women who’ve represented our country in the Australian defence forces. Part of honouring those who served is attending RSL Commemorative days such as Remembrance Day, ANZAC Day, and other important days during the year; each year.
Join us in remembering those who served.
Up to date details will be posted on this page in due course once arrangements have been made at the Club.

On April 25 1915, Australian and New Zealand forces landed at Gallipoli and were met with fierce resistance from the Ottoman Turkish defenders. The military action was originally planned as a bold attack aimed to withdraw Turkey from the war, however the campaign quickly became a stalemate lasting for eight months and resulting in over 8,000 deaths among Australian soldiers.
