President of the Kiama-Jamberoo RSL Sub-Branch Mongo Delamont, said the marches at Jamberoo and Kiama would feature many of the “usual suspects”.
“The Kiama Dawn Service is very popular and a shuttle bus will be available to take the elderly from the base of Blowhole Point to the service at the top on a continuous loop,” he said.
“Later, the march to the Memorial Arch will be led by the Light Horse contingent.”
Mr Delamont reiterated the importance of observing Anzac Day.
“They gave their life for us to appreciate what we have now, without them we wouldn’t be here doing what we’re doing,” he said.
