What make us proud and what's not
[My Australasia]
How picture telling its stories - Gap of gen "a lack of respect" to our late diggers.
At Oz:
Respects ... On the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Australian and New Zealand flags flew side-by-side at half-mast.
Mitchell Young from Blacktown, Sydney, salutes Diggers passing in the city parade.
... while up in Beeleigh, Queensland, Emily Watson was also marking the day.
Last coast ... the sun reaches Western Australia, starting the annual Anzac service in King's Park, Perth.
Locals remember ... Emily from Riddells Creek attends a service at Mt Macedon, Victoria
Dawn service ... Melburnians gather at the Shrine of Rememberance to mark Anzac Day in the Victorian capital.
Down south ... Tasmanians gather in Hobart to remember the service men and women who fell at Gallipoli 90 years ago.
At Gallipoli peninsula, Turkey:
At ease ... so-called Anzac 'pilgrims' let it all hang out on the graves of fallen heroes on the Gallipoli peninsula.
Lest they forget ... The tourists spent a day and night encamped on the burial.
Pack it up ... after the dawn service, the tourists left the site - and also left their garbage.
Prime Minister John Howard has defended the youngsters who visited the site. He said he was proud to be the leader of their nation, and added some litter was inevitable at public events.
Last respects ... wreaths laid by Mr Howard and the Prince of Wales were covered in trash after the event.
Words of the DAY:
Yokels: a stupid or awkward person who lives in the countryside rather than a town, especially one whose appearance is in some way strange or amusing.
Garbo, garbologist: municipal garbage collector - not working at Gallipoli.
