On 13 October 1915 the people of South Australia voted
to rename celebrations for the 8 Hour Day 'Anzac Day' in honour of
soldiers wounded in the First World War. The event included a procession
through Adelaide and carnival at Adelaide Oval. Now in 2015 we remember
that first Anzac Day.

for a forum and film screening reflecting on the 100 year anniversary of the first Anzac
Day. Drill Hall, Torrens Training Depot, Victoria Dve., Adelaide South Australia. Free car parking from 5pm
