With the sun peaking over the hills an enormous procession marched through the historic town for Anzac day
With the sun peeking over the Darling Range, a procession of horses, Jeeps and former soldiers marched through the historic town of Brunswick Junction.
The Anzac Day ceremony saw an enormous crowd attending the event, with hundreds from across the Harvey region coming to the town to pay their respects to the men and women who served in Australia's forces.
The march through town was led by Vietnam veteran Tony Green who guided the gathered masses from the Burnswick showgrounds to the Brunswick Town Hall, where master of ceremonies Judy Talbot conducted the event.
This year's service had a record number of wreaths laid at the war memorial, with more than 30 floral tributes laid by various members of the community.
The gathered crowd watched as groups from across Harvey and Brunswick presented their tribute to the fallen, before the procession broke and the events continued inside.
Within the Brunswick Town Hall Mrs Talbot talked to the gathered masses paying tribute to the 110th anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli.
Mrs Talbot said the war was Australia and New Zealand's first entrance into a global conflict, with the Australian Red Cross playing a major role in bringing many home alive.
As the president of the Brunswick Red Cross — the State's longest running branch — Mrs Talbot said she was proud to be a part of the continued legacy.
