2014 Coloured Diggers Anzac Day Program

Honouring our unsung war heroes

'The Unknown Soldier' is the theme for this year’s Redfern march. For the next 3 years, the City of Sydney is supporting the event with $5,000 each year and support in-kind.

Lord Mayor Clover Moore said it is an opportunity for everyone to come together to honour the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and women who bravely served Australia in many conflicts.

"Many Aboriginal people made the ultimate sacrifice for Australia but never received the recognition and benefits that were given to the people they served alongside. This march is an opportunity to show them the respect and dignity they deserve," the Lord Mayor said.

The City has commissioned artist Tony Albert, an Aboriginal artist whose family has over 80 years of combined military service, to create a public artwork for Hyde Park that will honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and women.
