Category Archives: Turkey I live in the Nation’s Capital. For me there is something extra special about significant days in Australian history when they are celebrated or noted in the Capital. Today is ANZAC Day – the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Day. It’s a day of remembrance for Australian and New Zealand participation and loss in all…  10 days in turkey, brilliant.

The coming weeks will be spent in Turkey and Greece on the move, so blogging may be a challenge, we’ll see. No families to meet, but time to spend reflecting on my trip so far.
