Shed A Tear And Raise A Beer

 
 

"The Gallipoli campaign was the beginning of true Australian nationhood. When Australia went to war in 1914, many white Australians believed that their Commonwealth had no history, that it was not yet a true nation, that it’s most glorious days still lay ahead of it. In this sense the Gallipoli campaign was a defining moment for Australia as a new nation, but also a key moment in the evolution of a particular image of Australian masculinity.”

Dr Frank Bongiorno, University of New England

  2. Well, it’s actually a clock, but if some extra simmering helps them come out properly tasty, them I’m in favor.
