The ANZAC legend is many things to many people.
To me, it is also about the lesser known unsung hero rarely mentioned or even noticed.
They rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into the work normally done by the men. They kept house and fed n clothed the kids and they nursed their sick and injured men back to health on their return. And they did this with dignity, respect and without complaint.... It's just what they did. Aussie women of those times were the backbone of the Country.
The Anzac legend is very much alive and the spirit of Anzac lives inside you and me.
When a 10 year old gets up at 2am to go with her parents to a dawn service, hundreds of kilometres away, WITHOUT QUESTION, we know we have it right. Enough said !
