vintage heaven 2

ANZAC day in Australia & New Zealand, the anniversary of the landing of troops on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey during World War 1.
I thought another trip to Doug up on Bourke was appropriate for today. A trip down memory lane for some & a look into pieces of Australian history.  












Today we're honouring the bravery of those who fought & are fighting in wars, remembering the enormous loss of life & the innocent victims of war then and now.

    What an interesting post. I love it when bloggers stir in some history with their entries. I can't say that I know anything about Australian history. Love your pictures!
    Have a great day.

    I love this store. Something I never see for sale anymore in stores are the vintage tin signs.
    I'd love to be there right now.

    I also popped into Doug Up on Bourke last weekend - I was actually next door at the Porters Painting course and popped in for a quick browse at the end of the day. it's a treasure trove!
