Yesterday was ANZAC Day, a time when as a nation we pause in a national day of remembrance to commemorate those Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.
Across the state, volunteers and staff from Marine Rescue attended local dawn services and marches, including laying wreaths in memory of the fallen.
Following are a selection of photographs of our members participating in services up and down the state.
