hey i thought i would see what bites i would get first!
well i would say, to me, without analizing the shit out of it. i feel it is when australia really became a nation. it is a deep part of our national charictor. the fact that the main thing it commemorates is a battle that australia should never have fought (galipoli) just enforces that ..... our young men were sent to the wrong place by incompetent british officers and against almost impossible odds they stuck to it and stayed there. our soldiers were even able to make friends with the turks one minuite then hours later go back to bombing the shit out of each other! .... war is crazy!
my great grandfather was a medic at galipolli! so it hold a special reverence in my heart! soooooo next year, i will be standing on the battle field as the sun is rising ! i'm sure that it is something i will never forget!
that's my 2 cents!
