Thank you. It's a small world. Especially when I discovered you and I were 'near neighbours' in the 1970's. Me in Balmain and you and Terry in Leichhardt. Not being born in a country leaves you with a different perspective of its attributes. Because you take nothing for granted. And you're conscious of the time line from the time you arrived to now. My sister is now very sorry she didn't accept my invitation to travel with me. She couldn't. She wasn't a free soul like me. She had a husband and a child. And neither wanted to leave the shores of their birth. The ANZAC Day Dawn Ceremony is very touching to me because it's devoid of the pomp and circumstance of politics. It's simply about every individual who sacrificed their lives, limbs, sanity and well being for those they left behind. The ones who did return home were men and women transformed by their experiences. 'Lest We Forget' should be remembered as often as possible. Beverley, again, thank you so much for leaving your comment. All the best, Carol Good morning Beverley,

What a lovely comment to leave. Thank you.

It’s a small world. Especially when I discovered you and I were ‘near neighbours’ in the 1970′s. Me in Balmain and you and Terry in Leichhardt.

My sister is now very sorry she didn’t accept my invitation to travel with me. She couldn’t. She wasn’t a free soul like me. She had a husband and a child. And neither wanted to leave the shores of their birth.

Thankyou, your story is truely moving. And I appreciate the best Bugler playing "The Last Post" would strike a beautiful soulful vein too. I can still see, smell and feel my life in the 60's and early 70's... vividly. When your positive and young audacious soul was taking you searching for the best place to safely anchor your life. You've shone like a spirit, if not wrestless, then eager and as daring as a pioneer. Or as brave as any soldier would have to be in order to sign up and step out, and face the consequences. And to-day we remembered and honoured the brave. Is it by coincidence that the Telegraph newspaper printed a whole illustrated page on the history of Balmain... just yesterday? On this Anzac weekend!! Carol, I'm glad you came to Australia on 10th July 1970, and that you eventually found a place here to live and to love. May "Australia" always stand by you. Beverley. Carol,
