The landings commenced at 0430 local time. If you look at the memorials around the country that feature non-functioning clocks you will see they are set to this time.

Traditionally, there is a 'Gunfire Breakfast' held in Australian Infantry Battalions at 0430, where troops attend a brief service followed by rum & coffee, before getting ready for the Dawn Service at 0600, then the Church Service and main parade.
