Anzac Day in Perth

Whilst the east coast of Australia is all cold and gloomy, Perth is still glorious and sunny. Today it was 28C with incredible blue skies. So why not have a picnic in Kings Park!

If Anni wasn't working, we would have gone to the dawn service, but it just wasn't feasible with public transport and getting to work on time. But we still went to the State War Memorial to pay our respects, being so thankful for all that the servicemen and women have given up for our country.

The view from Kings Park never disappoints, so here's another photo:

Turkey

So eventually Anni and I got to Turkey. The weather was amazing (I think I even got a bit sunburnt)!

Gallipoli was incredible, beyond words. Anzac cove, The Nek, Lone Pine and Chanauk Bair are so close to each other, and yet so much blood was shed over the land. It was weird how we were walking along and suddenly there was an open trench in which the men were fighting from.

I think the most somber moment was reading the headstones at Lone Pine.

This trip has made me remember how blessed I am to be an Australian.
