when reading the brochure it says "settle in for the night" is it camping on the lawn area? seating or how long do you wait before the dawn service. Being 73 yrs old concerned about the tour?

On 24 April, the programme depends on official restrictions. On 25th April: Awake before sun rise for the ANZAC Day Dawn Service. 5:00 am: Spirit of Place commences. 5:30 am: Anzac Day Gallipoli Dawn Service. We don't provide items for the Dawn Service but we definitely recommend bringing a sleeping bag to help keep warm and comfortable during the night. A sleeping mat is also fine if you'd like some extra insulation from the ground. It can get quite cold at the commemorative site before dawn, so dressing in layers and bringing a warm jacket, hat, gloves, and scarf is strongly advised.
