Following the service was morning tea and Anzac biscuits and an opportunity for people to share stories and memories with each other.
The Anzac Day service was organised by the Toongabbie Township Group with support from the Lions Club of Wellington/Latrobe.

Cenotaph Details
The cenotaph is 4 meters tall and made from granite with an unpolished top section. Gold lettering is highlighted against the dark granite. There are “steps” at the base to allow wreaths to be laid in layers.
Logos for the Australian Army, Royal Australian Air Force and Royal Australian Navy are presented around the base of the cenotaph.
The cenotaph was installed 24 June 2024 at the Village Green (Corner of King St and Cowen St) on the east side of the Toongabbie Mechanics Institute.
