Lustre is a new temporary exhibition that explores the Allied campaigns in Greece and Crete in 1941 through the works of contemporary artists who walked in their footsteps in 2025.Lustre Force was the code name for the combined Australian, New Zealand and British army units deployed to protect Greece from Nazi attack in 1941. The Allied defence of Greece was overwhelmed in three and a half weeks in April 1941 and in May, Crete fell to a Nazi airborne invasion in just ten days.To record those heroic but doomed campaigns, Australia and New Zealand sent war artists and a photographer. Eighty-five years later, artists from Australia and New Zealand retraced their footsteps, walking the battlefields and visiting the cemeteries where the men and women of Lustre Force and their German foe lie.Lustre showcases the impressions they made of the impact of that journey. Some of the images show that the land and its people have recovered over time; others reveal that some scars take longer to fade.The exhibition opens on 15 May 2026 and is in the Memorial's Auditorium on the Lower Floor. The Memorial is open every day, 9am to 5pm. Please note that access to the exhibition is dependent on the Auditorium's use for education and other programs, so we encourage you to call the Memorial in advance on (02) 8262 2900.Entry is freeArtists: Amanda Penrose Hart, Euan Mcleoud, Joanna Logue, Alan Daniel Jones, Deirdre Bean, Riste Andrievski, Angelika Androutsopolous, Michael Bradfield, Michelle Hiscock, Steve Lopes, Natalie OConnor and Rodney PopleHistorian: Brad Manera, the Senior Historian and Curator of the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, Sydney Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we explore what it looks like for Christians to respond to culture without being shaped by it.From the booing at Anzac Day and growing cultural division, being labeled a fascist, the relaxed laws that create in injustice within Australia to the language and outrage surrounding social issues like surrogacy, this episode asks a deeper question:How do we be reasonable in our response?Anchored in Philippians 4, we look at: how to respond to injustice without losing wisdom why outrage culture is shaping how we think and speak and the ethical concerns Christians should consider around surrogacy This isn't about staying silent. It's about speaking truth clearly and thinking more deeply on a range of topics. Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.
I've known Rodney Hide for a long time; through his career in politics and beyond. I've seen changes in his life, both personal and professional. He is still making adjustments, because he's a man who pursues philosophy and knowledge, and isn't afraid of making corrections. It's been over a year since we did a podcast. Our pre interview chat led to a story that then opened a wide ranging discussion. We included politics and politicians, A.I.,the economy, Anzac relevance, the Middle East and Trump.

Episode SummaryIn episode 154 of The Two Jacks, Jack the Insider (Joel Hill) and Hong Kong Jack dive deep into the complexities of Australian identity. From the controversial booing of the "Welcome to Country" at Anzac Day ceremonies to the historical economic hangover of the White Australia Policy, the duo explores what it actually means to hold "Australian values".

Challenging Anzac: Stories that don't fit the legend Edited by Mia Martin Hobbs, Carolyn Holbrook, The Anzac legend has shaped Australia's national identity for more than a century. Yet many experiences of war do not fit comfortably within this. In Challenging Anzac, leading historians explore some of these stories: Aboriginal activists, deserters on the Western Front, veterans who took their own lives and soldiers who became radicalized by their service. They reveal how episodes in Australia's war history that unsettled the Anzac legend – from the relief of Tobruk, nuclear testing on Australian soil and feminist protests against war, to alleged atrocities in Afghanistan – have been elided or adapted to ‘fit' the legend. Edited by award-winning historians Mia Martin Hobbs, Carolyn Holbrook and Joan Beaumont, Challenging Anzac examines how the reality of warfare has always been at odds with mythic representation and considers why, despite this, the Anzac legend has survived. Mia Martin Hobbs is an oral historian of war and conflict, with a research focus on the Vietnam War, War on Terror, gender, peace, security and postwar reconciliation. Her first book, Return to Vietnam: An Oral History of American and Australian Veterans' Journeys, won the Oral History Australia Book Award in 2022 and was highly commended for the Memory Studies First Book Award in 2023. She has written widely on anti-war veteran activism, war crimes and the impact of the Anzac revival on Australian veterans' war memory. She is presently an ARC DECRA fellow at Deakin University. Carolyn Holbrook is a historian at Deakin University. Her latest books are Challenging Anzac: Stories that Don't Fit the Legend, co-edited with Mia Martin Hobbs and Joan Beaumont (2026), Australia Fair? Democracy, Bureaucracy and the Making of Modern Australia, co-authored with James Walter (2026), and Gold Standard? Remembering the Hawke Government, co-edited with Frank Bongiorno and Joshua Black (2026). She is the director of the Australian Policy and History network and the Australian Health and History digital archive. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Anzac Day e Festa della Liberazione, il 25 aprile è una data ricca di significato in Australia e in Italia, accomunata dal ricordo dei caduti e dal simbolico papavero. Ma quali sono analogie e differenze tra le due celebrazioni?
This week, Monz, Amelia and Stacey explore the ‘performance’ of public parenting, inspired by Elin Strong’s viral article. So, are you actually parenting for the other people at the park? If the answer is yes, you might be a popcorn mum. The swaddling fail by TV’s favourite doctor has ignited a firestorm amongst fans of medical drama The Pitt and we have thoughts. Also, we discuss Schitt’s Creek actor Dan Levy’s controversial take on planes and babies, and why even most parents are onboard. Plus, Prince Harry and Hamish Blake are opening up about men’s mental health postpartum. It has us asking, who’s looking after the dads? Also, Amelia has a new slang term for us that you’ll ‘low-kenuinely’ love. And, Stacey shows us what’s inside her smug ‘analogue bag’.

Howie, Chief, Browny, and Damo recap their favourite stories of the week - including Howie's concern for Lewis Hamilton, and a diving instructor who just said "don't look down". Browny had a small issue while watching his kids play sport, and Chief is back with two more epic movie monologues. Howie and his wife have made a promise to each other for when they get older, and the guys reflect on the week that Carlton has had. Browny went to the tip for the first time, Chief has a quiz about people who changed their names, we tell someone "Don't Worry, Be Happy", and Browny talks Men's Hormones in the Health Hotline. It's a jam-packed media wars as Kane Cornes puts one of our members under the spotlight, Browny comes across an official email from a footy broadcaster, and Channel 7 has three bulls in the newsbreaking paddock. Melbourne's Brody Mihocek joins the boys to discuss his move to the Demons, Browny has found some interesting ANZAC stories, and Howie chatted to former Bulldog and Saint Koby Stevens about how to prevent concussions at the junior and amateur levels of sport.

The New Zealand Defence force is leading this year's ANZAC dawn service at Gallipoli in Turkey. It's also leading Aotearoa's service at Chunuk Bair; the hill captured by Kiwi soldiers but later lost to an Ottoman counter attack, after the New Zealand soldiers had been relieved. More than 16,000 New Zealanders served in the campaign and almost 2,700 of them died; about a sixth of all those who had landed on the peninsula. A campaign that's played a signficant role in New Zealand national identity. John Mcleod spoke to Lisa Owen.

Почему люди, только приехавшие в новую страну, шли на фронт, как складывались их отношения с австралийскими сослуживцами и какие истории военных особенно поразили автора во время работы над фильмом.

The Greek Adonis, Nick 'Mayo' Madden, and the leaping Leek Aleer, in the ruck, brought us hope and excitement.As did a smiling Phoenix Rising Star...Mayo missing goals from the goal square — not so much.'Bluey' Oliver getting 64 touches in the wet: also stunning to watch.

In this interview episode, Dr Daniel Reynaud, author of The Man The Anzacs Revered, tells us about the colourful and incredibly brave AIF chaplain William McKenzie, who was a Salvation Army officer on the frontlines with the Diggers at Gallipoli and then on the Western Front. In his time, ‘Fighting Mac' was beloved around Australia and the inspiration for many tall tales. But his truth is even more striking. So why has he been forgotten?See Forgotten Australia live!

And if you know a teacher who could use this episode, please share it with them – and with any other friends. We go to an ANZAC service in Australia, where World War One is particularly remembered. Then we go to Remembrance Day in Hong Kong, which just over 75 years ago was invaded by the Japanese during World War Two. We are grateful to Lindisfarne Anglican College for allowing us to visit their ANZAC assembly, and thanks go to their special guest, Major Matina Jewell (retired) for the interview. Recurring at points throughout this episode is the sound of Lindisfarne's School Marching Band, led by Mr Dale Norton. And thank you, retired Sergeant Kelvin Fawcett. Questions for after you've listened: What does A-N-Z-A-C – ANZAC -- stand for? Why is Nov 11 an important date for remembering people from wars? What happened at Gallipoli in WWI? What is the Last Post? Which country is the Menin Gate in? What colour are poppies? Who wrote the poem 'In Flanders Fields'? Why is it important to remember people who died in wars? We have recorded a new show for editing in the near future, so watch this space. We're also working on a Dad & Me Love History book and are looking for an illustrator - do you know someone with the skills and the passion?

Avec nous, Serge Ou, réalisateur du documentaire « Under a Bamboo Sky » qui raconte l'histoire d'un groupe de prisonniers de guerre australiens pendant 3 ans à travers quatre pays et est relaté par les témoignages de 63 hommes de différents grades, âgés de 18 à 32 ans au moment de leur capture par l'armée japonaise, début 1942 et qui ont survécu pour témoigner. Ces soldats ont été menés au travail forcé pour construire la voie ferrée Thaïlande-Birmanie, naufragés en mer, puis envoyés dans des usines et dans des mines de charbon au Japon.
On April 6th, 1941, Germany launched Operation Marita, the invasion of Greece, with the 12th Army under General List striking primarily through the newly conquered territory of Yugoslavia to outflank the well-prepared Greek Metaxas Line. The opening days of the attack were harder than the Germans expected — the Greeks defended stubbornly along the Metaxas Line, particularly at the Rupel Pass, but flanking movements soon made those positions untenable, and the vital port of Salonika fell after just three days of fighting. Meanwhile, the British were dealt a serious blow when a Luftwaffe raid on the port of Piraeus set off an ammunition ship, closing the harbor for two critical days, while intelligence intercepts revealed German forces pushing through the Monastir Gap to envelop the British Aliakmon Line. What followed was a grinding fighting retreat southward by Allied forces through the Servia and Olympus passes toward the historic pass at Thermopylae, with ANZAC troops buying time against an advancing German army that was better supplied, better supported from the air, and ultimately impossible to stop — raising the alarming question of whether any evacuation from Greece could even be arranged.
