AUSTRALIAN MILITARY
The sacred nature of Anzac day is as important to Australians now as it was nearly a century ago. But why? Integral to an understanding of its continuing significance is an understanding of the relationships between the pioneer and Anzac experiences, and their effect on the evolution of an Australian consciousness.
Bush Heroes is a fascinating story of the men of Anzac; the story of the extraordinary hardship and struggle of both the Australian bush and Gallipoli, which have created our most powerful legends.
