Yeah I thought I should give ya a mentio...Hey Tez,<br /><br />Yeah I thought I should give ya a mention! I didn't see it unfortunately but I've heard similar arguments from Les Carlyon who is a historian on Gallipoli and the 'Anzac' myth in general. <br /><br />I disagree slightly with what he states though as we still seem to remember some of the founding moments prior to Anzac day such as our celebration of Australia day, though this is slowly disintegrating into nothing at all. It is true though to a certain extent that Australia was born on the shores of Gallipoli.<br /><br />Perhaps this is why we forget some of our nasty colonial past?<br /><br />NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936240546699036903.post-18281763110683917942010-04-28T02:32:01.816-07:002010-04-28T02:32:01.816-07:00Hi! I like this post, especially as I am in it :) ...Hi! I like this post, especially as I am in it :) Did you see the Q&A this week, on the Anzac Day holiday? It was all about the Anzac legend, and Henry Reynolds was on there making some good points. He's edited a book that we should consider including in revisions if we ever get feedback on the article. His argument with Anzac is that it is seen as the sacred event which founded the nation of Australia and makes people forget everything that came before... I'd like to read some of his stuff, because he wasn't able to get into it much on the show.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526136978255752695noreply@blogger.com
