I would loved to have taken the group to visit the ANZAC War Memorial in Sydney as well. <br /><br />It wasn't easy. General Sir John Monash certainly did use ANZAC Day marches to garner support for the Shrine, but Australia was just about to enter its worst ever Great Depression. As it turned out, the most exciting element of all was the Shrine's location - visible from every direction. Brilliant! And surrounded by park land for eternity.<br /><br />Thanks for the link<br />Hels<br />http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com.au/2009/05/melbournes-shrine-built-during-terrible.html<br /><br /> Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
