Villers-Bretonneux, France, or Gallipoli, Turkey, for Anzac Day commemorations on 25 April this
year that there was still time to register for updates.
Mr Snowdon said that the information services provided important updates for the overseas
commemorations, including practical tips on what to bring and what to expect.
“I encourage Australians attending Anzac Day commemorations in France or Gallipoli to register
their details online before they depart. These services will ensure travellers come fully prepared
for what is a once in a lifetime experience,” he said.
The France and Gallipoli registration services provide travellers with helpful information on what
to expect on the day, what to bring and wear, weather conditions, traffic arrangements or
services, and information in the event of an emergency.
Updates are provided direct to recipients via text message or email or both.
“Each year thousands of people attend Anzac Day commemorations in France and Gallipoli.
I encourage those who are planning to attend, but have not yet registered, to do so soon to
make the most of this valuable information service
In previous years up to 7,000 people have attended the Dawn Service at Gallipoli and some
3,000 at Villers-Bretonneux.
Similar numbers are expected again in 2011.
Registration is not mandatory but is a way for Australian travellers to stay informed.
