Available now for purchase. A few years ago a man from Queensland crossed my path. He was the 75 year old nephew of a man who had already lived an extraordinary life up until he was wounded in Gallipoli at 22.

Available now for purchase. Down on the toe of the Gallipoli Peninsula and battlefield is W Beach. This beautiful little beach is still littered with the detritus of the war that raged here in 1915.
