For Remembrance Day I thought I would share a recent visit to the Maryborough Military and Colonial Museum, which is one of the best museums I've visited. We were in Maryborough to get our steam train fix (also worth doing - especially for anyone who grew up in Queensland catching trains) and literally stumbled across this fabulous museum.
The Gallipoli Room was spectacular and in this year, the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, it seemed especially poignant to visit. It made me all the prouder of Home for Christmas, my Aussie Military romance. While today's soldiers will never experience what the diggers of 1915 did, their service of our country should never be forgotten. Here are some more photos I took during my visit, the first of many I suspect. Yes, I was a little fixated on Christmas messages and dog tags, because after the cover for Home for Christmas was revealed, I realised that nowhere in the book did I mention Tate's dog tags. Oops.
