Welcome
The Last Post Project involved participants from all over Australia playing the Last Post for Anzac Day 2021. The photo and video gallery below shows some of the highlights.
There is still time to contribute to the project by sponsoring a participant or making a general donation that goes to supporting our veterans.
Melbourne Docklands and The Last Post Project
The Melbourne Docklands Chamber of Commerce is a proud supporter of The Last Post Project. We encourage our residents and businesses in the Melbourne's Docklands precinct to donate to The Last Post Project. The proceeds are being donated to the veterans' charities Mates4Mates and Women Veterans Network Australia.
ANZAC DAY AT DOCKLANDS
At 6am on Sunday 25th April 2021, eight buglers will sound the Last Post at various points around Docklands. This military bugle call is traditionally sounded at the end of each day to signal that the work of the day is over and it is time to rest.
The Last Post is also sounded at military funerals, at dawn on ANZAC Day and at 11:00am on Remembrance Day to commemorate those that made the supreme sacrifice. In this context the Last Post signals:
"Your Duty is Done, Rest in Peace".
After one minute silence the buglers will sound the Rouse.
"Having paid their respects, the living are called back to duty".
The Docklands Chamber of Commerce is supporting this project that encourages young musicians to become involved in supporting our veteran community and to play the "Last Post" on Anzac Day 2021. Paticipants will be taught to play the "Last Post", follow a practice schedule & routine and raise money for a veterans charity by recruiting sponsors to their project. Many young musicians all over Australia will be participating in The Last Post project this year.
