The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. While the Friends of ANZAC Cottage pay our respects to all who have played a role in defending our country this year we will be highlighting the women’s services that were formed and operated during this conflict.
Our Women in War-themed commemoration will feature the writing of some 10- and 11-year-old Mount Hawthorn Primary School students who have researched this topic complemented by a compelling address that tells the story of one woman’s harrowing wartime experience in Greece.
On this day ANZAC Cottage at 38 Kalgoorlie Street Mount Hawthorn will be open from 4 pm to 6 pm and entry is free. The evocative Sunset Service will begin at 5 pm and feature the popular Maori Cultural Group Ngaru Pou reminding us all of the “NZ” in ANZAC.
The Cottage will be open for visitors to enjoy the displays and exhibitions. Children will be invited to assist us in paying tribute to the “Women in War” and our Field of Remembrance will be on show.
The Friends of ANZAC Cottage extend our heartfelt thanks to the Heritage Council of Western Australia for their generous sponsorship and to the National Trust of Western Australia for the use of the Cottage on this occasion. Their support has made this event possible and we are truly grateful.
