Australia is to build in New Zealand Memorial park

[Dave Homewood]

I just heard that A$5million has been allocated in today's Australian Government budget to build a memorial in Wellington's National War memorial park dedicated to Aussies who died alongside New Zealanders in the various wars the two countries have fought togetehr in.

So where's 'Austrakia' then Dave? Near 'New Xealand'?

More seriously, sounds interesting. I'm a bit dubious about John Howard's abilities' with history - but a memorial can be no bad thing. It would be good to figure out how to avoid future wars, too.

It seems like the plan is to have several different country's memorials in the park.

I'd love to get down there some day to visit the grave of the Unknown Warrior.

Typo fixed by the way.

There's a NZ memorial on ANZAC parade in Canberra. One 1/2 on each side of the road. Very nice
