This day, 90 years ago, Australian and New Zealand armed forces landed on the Gallopili peninsula and so began an integral part of Australian history.

90 years on and the legend continues. Droves of people turn up every year to their local ANZAC memorial at the crack of dawn to listen to the last post and pay their respects. I go every year, one day of the year where i wake up before the sun and venture to a memorial to stand and ponder.

Lest we forget.

Melanie and I went to Mackay to vists Roland and Bec this past weekend. We left friday afternoon after lunch and managed to reach Mackay before dark (not surprising since its only about 3hrs max)

We went out to eat at Cactus Jacks on Saturday night, i had the usual Aztec Pie which was good. After tea we went and saw The Extra – Jimeoins new movie. To be honest it was crap. Didnt do Jimeion justice at all. We had to reassure melanie that Jimeoin WAS wactually funny. The movie was very dissapointing, not that funny, story wasnt that good and overall not recommended viewing.

We headed back to rocky today, got home before dark and all is good.

Nick came around and watched CSI, Melanie and i have managed to get him hooked on it

We are all watching a pretty weird movie on tv – Phantoms, about zombie moths or something. Kinda cheesy but kinda funny also.

So yeah, the weekend was good. Im heading to the Anzac dawn service in the morning. Ill probably post about it when i get back in the morning.
