Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, commemorating all who have served and died in war, conflict and peacekeeping operations.
This year, it falls on Saturday, April 25, meaning for some States and Territories the public holiday will be observed on Monday, April 27.
While most Australians will be paying their respects at a dawn service or an Anzac Day march on the day, we know that you may need a quick trip to the supermarket for forgotten groceries or the ingredients to make Anzac biscuits!
With some of the shops closing over the long weekend, don’t get caught out before you’ve grabbed the essentials for your time off.
We’ve found the Anzac Day trading hours for Coles stores in every Australian State and Territory.
Scroll on for the full breakdown.
