Yes, most of the Australian photos in the headers were from our last visit there. I will dig a little deeper to explore some of the other ones. Choosing ones that look good when cropped like this can be a bit of a challenge, but fortunately Australia and New Zealand have plenty of beach scenes, so we might use some of those. They usually crop well into wide horizontals!
Great shot! And I recognise most of the faces. Let me see now … Philip Munro Smith, Charlie Powell, Sid Roberts, Pat McGrath and Richard Stockman. Who did I miss?
It was really great meeting Greg and his family at the DUCW event. We bought a copy of his book and look forward to meeting them again and hearing more stories of this and other adventures.
It’s tough to see what some people are going through in NSW. Do you know of anyone who has had to leave their home? Or anyone who has volunteered to help put the fires out?
The first Allied troops landed in Turkey’s Gallipoli peninsula on April 25, 1915 when the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) and British forces came ashore. It would be the start of months of trench fighting that soon made it clear an Allied victory there would be much harder than thought.
Members of The Newfoundland Regiment had arrived hoping for action and excitement but they were soon disappointed. They spent the first months digging trenches and keeping long night watches, spending time on the front line learning trench warfare techniques from the ANZAC and British forces that had been fighting there for months.
The main stage is the focus of attention each night in the multi-day musical weekend. The daytime stages occur simultaneously across the massive site in Birds Hill Park.
Marlon shared a workshop stage with a Winnipeg first nations performer and rose to the request for Maori song. His is a very powerful and emotional voice.
The lamb disappeared so quickly that we were too late for this year. Maybe autumn 2016 will work out for any new customers come from the the Down Under Club.
We have been enjoying the lamb every year for quite a few years.I can highly recommend it. It always lasts us the whole year, with plenty of roasts and stews, ground lamb and of course we all love the legs, shoulders, racks and chops.
It is so lovely to see these familiar photos from Australia. We look forward to seeing more!
