The colours of Autumn are sprinkled through the streets of Maldon as we reach Anzac Day.
It’s a time to remember the fallen and those who have fought to protect us for more than a century.
On Anzac Eve there will be a 5.30pm service at Anzac Hill, Maldon. This service coincides with the going down of the sun.
On Anzac day there will be a dawn service held at the cenotaph within the Maldon Shire Gardens on High Street Maldon. Assembly for the service shall commence from 5.45am for a 6am service.
Following the dawn service the Anzac Day March will assemble at the Maldon Primary School from 10.30am. The men and women assembled shall commence marching down High Street at 10.45am, reaching the Maldon Cenotaph for the 11am morning service.
Consider taking a visit to Anzac Hill this Anzac day and remember the fallen who fought for our way of life.
Most businesses will be closed until 1pm on Anzac day, some businesses have chosen not to open. However there is still plenty to see around Maldon on Anzac Day.
Whether you are taking a day trip, or at the beginning or end of a bigger adventure, be sure to put Maldon on your list of places to visit.
The Maldon Orchestra is reimagining the music of the Victorian Gold Rush.
Back to Porcupine Flat is a composition about some miners heading back to Porcupine Flat just outside of Maldon to continue digging for gold. The diggers had a tough time on the goldfields and despite the possible reward of finding gold there were also many difficulties faced by the miners.
Back to Porcupine Flat is a tribute to the miners who kept going back to work their claims as hard as life on the goldfields was.
The 142nd Maldon Easter Parade was held today and The Maldon Easter Fair must be one of Australia’s longest running Easter festivals.
The parade was a success again this year thanks to the hard work of the Maldon Easter Fair organisers.
Many imaginative, fun and though provoking floats and entries entertained the street which was packed with people watching.
Here are some photos that were shared to Instagram of the parade.
