And another year passes, I remind our Hinterland Family that whether your heritage on this land goes back a thousand years on this land, if you are descendant of a settler or a convict, or you and your family have come to this land recently to call Australia home, Please take a moment on the 25th of April to consider the ultimate sacrifice made by our Armed forces long in the past and in recent conflict, and to give the respect due to those who continue to put their hand up as the willing to do the same now and into the future. Those who have and continue to give up so much so that we can have the lives we have today. Give them a moment of your mind to reflect, as they have given up their lives for your freedom

I give credit to the Anzac Day commemoration committee for the following;
The following was written by Pericles well over two thousand years ago, long before the first ANZAC Day, but only a stone’s throw from Gallipoli:
Each has won a glorious grave - not that sepulchre of earth wherein they lie, but the living tomb of everlasting remembrance wherein their glory is enshrined. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of heroes. Monuments may rise and tablets be set up to them in their own land, but on far-off shores there is an abiding memorial that no pen or chisel has traced; it is graven not on stone or brass, but on the living hearts of humanity. Take these men for your example. Like them, remember that prosperity can be only for the free, that freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it
