Just a glimpse into the complex simplicity of the enigma that is the Crown Family.

Melbourne War Memorial (cont'd)

A War Memorial isn't a good war memorial without the perpetual flame. I like how this is set up. And by the way, whilst the days were for the most part beautiful winter/spring days, it was FLIPPIN cold!! So the heat from the flame was actually very welcome.

















This building sits up on the hill. Pride and place. And the humility and humbleness I spoke of earlier starts to really get you the closer you get to it.

I thought this was just a cool touch. The patches of grass in between the paving stones.

"Let all men know that this is holy ground. This shrine established in the hearts of men as on the solid earth commemorates a people's fortitude and sacrifice. Ye therefore that come after give rememberance."
