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.
