ANZAC Day
Yesterday our friends down under celebrated ANZAC Day, commemorating the landing of Australian and New Zealand troops at Gallipoli on April 25, 1915.
The spirit of ANZAC recognises the qualities of courage, mateship and sacrifice which were demonstrated at the Gallipoli landing.
It's a day that will always make me think of a certain movie from 1981.
How fast can you run?
- As fast as a leopard.
How fast will you run?
- Fast as a leopard.
Then let's see you do it.
Australian masculinity, I salute you. Trailer Gallipoli. Another trailer (remember that weird 80's electronic music by Michel Jarre? Do the time warp.)
A few weeks ago, we watched Gallipoli. (I love Peter Weir; The Year Of Living Dangerously is a favorite) My wife cried like a baby. Sad movie, sad history.
Cheers.
