HUNDREDS of people are expected to join Anzac Day services throughout the Hepburn Shire next Wednesday.

Creswick RSL president Jack Sewell said a dawn service would be held at the cenotaph at 6am followed by a dawn gun fire breakfast at the Farmers Arms Hotel.

He said the youth of Creswick and district, led by Creswick Fire Brigade captain Mark Spenceley, would conduct the morning service at 10.45am after a march from the bottom of Albert St at 10.15am.

Corporal Reasons, who has returned from Iraq and has also worked in East Timor, will be the guest speaker.

Following the service at the cenotaph, there will be a morning tea at the RSL hall.

Mr Sewell, who was one of seven Australians to receive an Anzac of the Year Award last year, said the dawn service attracted about 300 people last year.

"Anzac Day is about remembering," he said.

He said the Creswick RSL had handed over the conducting of the morning service to young people because war veterans were "getting too old".

The Clunes RSL invites all residents and visitors to take part in the commemoration of Anzac Day.

At 10.45am the University of Ballarat Pipe Band will lead RSL and returned members, women's auxiliary members, Clunes Primary School pupils and staff, Wesley College students and staff and others in a march along Fraser

St to the cenotaph for a commemoration service and wreath laying ceremony at 11am.

Clunes RSL secretary Betty Duncan said interested persons or organisations were invited to place wreaths or flowers during the service.

Larry Downes, a member of the 39th Battalion who served on the Kokoda Track during World War II, will speak at the Clunes Town Hall at 11.30am, followed by refreshments at the RSL club rooms.

Daylesford will commemorate Anzac Day with a dawn stand-to at the cenotaph at 6.30am, followed by a cooked breakfast at the RSL hall.

Daylesford RSL secretary Neil Chamberlain said marchers are invited to assemble outside the town hall at 10am for the march at 10.15am to the cenotaph.

After the service, Flight Lieutenant Anthony Doherty (AAFC) commanding officer 425 (City of Ballarat) Squadron Australian Airforce Cadets will speak at the Daylesford Town Hall.

Services will also be held at the Hepburn memorial gates at 8.30am followed by a 9am service in Eganstown.
