today is ANZAC day and with ANZAC day comes the remembrance of those who fought for peace. But something I’ll always remember about the ANZACs is their spirit, what the ANZAC spirit means and how it has defined Australian culture.

I remember doing an essay on it in history in year 10 a

nd getting an A (my first ever A for a full on essay), probably because it really interested me.

but a big part of the ANZAC spirit is mateship.

Australians are known for their valour when it comes to a friend in need no matter the circumstances. whether getting shot at by some fella with a gun or getting an earbashing from the misses. ya mate is always there to pick you back up and carry you to safety. (usually a pub haha not that i go to pubs)

So this ANZAC day grab ya mates and give em three cheers because ya mates deserve to be blessed.

so to all me mates out there reading this. thanks. thanks for being an encouragement, an inspiration, a challenge and most of all a friend that puts up with my nonsense, my ADDness, my randomness, my susness, my corniness, my insecurities, my weaknesses, my bad habits, my procrastination, my laziness, and my inability to comprehend organisation. i know i don’t appreciate you all enough so i’m gonna work on it. this is for you

hip-pip hooray

hip-pip horray

hip-pip horray

love ya like a fat kid loves STEAK MATE! (none of this cake nonsense haha)

and to the ANZACs i salute you for your bravery and courage. in the face of danger you chose to stand between life and death as you marched into guns blazing and bullets flying just so that we could live in freedom.

thanks
