Sacrifices made in wars past and present have been remembered at Anzac Day ceremonies across the country and overseas.
The national dawn service in Canberra - marking the 107th anniversary of the Anzac landing at Gallipoli - began with a moment of quiet reflection followed by the sound of a didgeridoo played by Worimi man, Leading Aircraftman Tarryn Roach.
Army veteran Mike Ruffin - who served in Malaya, Borneo and Vietnam - told the service at the Australian War Memorial it was a day to reflect on the Anzac spirit.
