Description
Each year in New Zealand and Australia ANZAC Day is observed with a national holiday and services. Pictured are a small group of veterans at Omakau in New Zealand.
This piece is inspired by a Jimmy Barnes song, "The Last Frontier".The song is about people fleeing hardship and poverty in their own countries and arriving in Australia only to find a sun-burnt land, no work and even greater poverty. They were then forced to enlist when "back in the land across the sea, they found another war - they asked the ANZACS to believe in what they're fighting for."
