War would have been a wonder to children in Australia. They would have experienced loss, adaptability, adventure, sacrifice and lots and lots of courage. When asked of them children can be incredibly strong and make us so proud. Just like all our ANZAC's. We will remember them.

Another year and another Earth Day!

Yet shouldn't every day be Earth Day? Shouldn't every day on earth be cherished, with the soil, the plants, the water, animals and pollinators revered for the way they feed us, shelter us and create life.
Let us use today and everyday to pass on our appreciation for mother earth to all children.
