Remembrance

Remembrance day 2026

Walking the remembrance path at Emu Park today felt peaceful, but in a strange, eerie way. The track takes you right through the story of a world at war - of young lives cut short, shattered bodies and minds, and the heavy price paid by the soldiers and their families.

As I walked, the layout spilt my focus. To my left stood the milestones, marking the years, the pain, and the damage. To my right was some of the most breathtaking coastal scenery you could ever ask for.

It makes you think about the people who left this kind of safety and peace behind. They walked away from it all to step into a world where every single day was filled with fear and pain. They didn't have to go, but they did it anyway - for the greater good, to protect the way of life we hold onto today.
