ANZAC Day, 2010

To all Australian and Kiwi members, hearty wishes for a wonderful ANZAC DAY. Deepest regards for the efforts of all Australians and New Zealanders during WWI, to the few remaining survivors and of course to the men, women and children that celebrate the Day's significance.


For more information regarding Anzac Day, here's a link that aptly explains things:

War Was Hell For Everyone at Home And All Of The Peeps Fighting On ALL Fronts.

Cheers Craig! (as usual)

ANZAC DAY is my favourite day of the year. Will be sparing a thought for our diggers gone before and those currently serving overseas. Then will be heading into The Rocks (Olde Sydney town) for a few beers (maybe one too many), couple of games of two-up, and the football (go the Dragons!).

Dan and Mark, btw, should check out the new Aussie WW1 movie 'Beneath Hill 60', it's not bad. Interesting (historical) story about Aussie/Kiwi troops tunnelling shafts on the Western front to blow up German forts.

But On The Sports Fields It Is A Very Different Story.

Gotta love it!

Always love that Dowling v Tamati sideline match-up. Also a brutal tackle (borderline spear-tackle) here on Garry Jack.

And here I thought an Anzac was some kinda Heimlich maneuver best done in the dark.
