[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 38613, member: 1991"] Anzac Day is a big thing for us, almost as big as Australia Day. Maybe bigger, sometimes. The vandals - I hope they get treated the same way as the young man who tore down a flag from the RSL (returned servicemens' league) and burned it during the Cronulla riots; after all the court hearings, that RSL invited him in and they explained to him what it means, told him their stories and what they were doing when THEY were 17 and 18. He is now a youth spokesman for his ethnic community, which is where a lot of the conflict has been coming from. It has turned his life and his views around, he is now an ambassador for racial harmony and peace instead of fuelled by hate and misunderstanding. Fran, hang in there in the wind, I like the Dorothy analogy. We're enjoying some rare peace from the winds. We do get it as bad as you seem to have it now, but thankfully not too often. And all of you struggling with illness - take care. We're past the middle of the week now. It's funny - as I type this, not long before midnight our time, I can hear our visiting Brushtailed Possum calling outside my window. Sounds like there's either a mate or a baby nearby... unless it's a piece of fruit husband put out. He loves our possums too. Marg [/QUOTE]
