The Crown Perth Casino is reinstating its Two-up ring specifically for Anzac Day. Punters can find it on the main gaming floor, from 12 noon onwards, with part proceeds donated to the RSL. Note: The casino will be closed between 3am and 12 noon on Anzac Day as a mark of respect. In response to the 14 April 2020 decision of Council and in lieu of the Anzac Day March, we have been working with the RSL, City of Adelaide Pipe Band and the Scotch College Caledonian Pipe band, all of whom participate each year in the Anzac Day March, to coordinate Pipers to play in various location across the City. Anzac Day in Adelaide 2019 Our photographers have been chronicling the 2019 Anzac Day Dawn Service commemorations across SA. You can send your photos to: Advertiserpics@adv.newsltd.com.au. 'Anzac Day is a symbolic day for Australians and New Zealanders with the Australian War Memorial being the centre of Australia's national commemoration,' said Anne Bennie, the memorial's assistant.
