I observed the day in full, and in a way, for the first time upon the Centenary. It's difficult to wrap your head and heart around the moment and its meaning to Australians. This year I made a bit of a study of it, and talked to my Aussie friends about it...visited the memorial in Hyde Park, and finally watch the dawn ceremony in the cove. To all my Aussie friends, I stand with you and pay respects. "...Lest we forget"
