The Oakleigh Carnegie RSL will conduct a Dawn Service on Thursday 25th April commencing at 6am at the Cenotaph, Cnr Drummond St and Atherton Rd Oakleigh

We invite the community to join us on this very important commemorative day for our nation. By standing quietly and reflecting we say that we have not forgotten, and will not forget. We will remember the Australian and New Zealand men and women who shaped the legacy and spirit of ANZAC - endurance, courage, mateship and sacrifice - qualities that continue to have meaning and relevance for our sense of identity.

We share on this day our appreciation for all who have served in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Importantly we acknowledge and thank all current members of our defence forces who represent our nation on a daily basis and serve still in areas of our world where they make a difference.

Following the Dawn Service, breakfast will be available at the Oakleigh Carnegie RSL club rooms, 95-97 Drummond Street Oakleigh. Our community is most welcome to join us for breakfast and remain at the club to watch the ANZAC City march.

The club will remain open for the day with our Bistro open for lunch from 12 noon - bookings can be made on 0487 958 338.

And the ANZAC Football match (Collingwood v Essendon) will be available for viewing in the afternoon.

The Substitutes return to the Oakleigh Lounge this Saturday 13th July to recreate that 60’s excitement and rawness that often gets lost with tribute bands.

Listen to a Dave Davies (the Kinks) guitar solo or a Kieth Moon (The Who) drum roll and know that the 60’s were about experimentation and risk taking, not just good pop melodies. The Substitutes faithfully produce the sounds of the 60’s, just like the record, but with real spirit, dry humour and a passion that you will remember.

Professional, dedicated musicians who guarantee you a great night of music and dancing.
