John EnglartANZAC day? Juliet, Indiana Jones and I paid a visit to the Fawkner Cemetery ceramic tile memorial mural: “In memory of all who served at home and abroad in times of conflict. “ It is an inclusive memorial that avoids nationalism and recognises that conflict affects people whether they serve in the defence forces or not, and could equally apply to the frontier wars. We paid our respects to those past and present.<a href="https://c.im/tags/ANZACDay2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ANZACDay2023</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/JulietAndJones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JulietAndJones</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LestweForget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LestweForget</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FrontierWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FrontierWars</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a>
