"Australia".
"Digger". The names bring a rush
of pride.
In our short 200 years of history, we have fought bravely in more than our fair share of wars, and
in countries that were never our own. Always the
defender, never the aggressor always, in the end,
the winner.
Australians, in time of war have always been
courageous, and at the fore-front of the most
famous battles in history. The pride of a nation
goes with you. Be safe, be brave and go with honour.
Our thanks go also to the troops from all over the world who have chosen to support us
OVER 3 MILLION AUSTRALIANS WATCH THE CONCERT ON TV The Highest rating TV show of 1999
Wow Guys and Gals, that concert was something else. I'll bet Kylie caused quite a few sleepless nights for any guys watching her. It just goes to show what a really great Australian talent she is. All the performers were brilliant. Whispering Jack with the first rendition of Sadie I have heard in many a year. Doc Neeson who really made Dili rock,. Roy and HG just as good as ever. It just goes to show what real Australians these performers are. Unlike some who make their money here and claim to be "True Blue" but give nothing back. The Australian girls in uniform look like they were recruited from a top modelling agency. The highlight of the night, for me, was when Australian Band Member
Rachel Starkey sang that most beautiful of carols, Silent Night. It is perhaps appropiate, as the people of East Timor had very few silent nights, before the Interfet Force arrived. All the Australian radio stations are talking about it. She has quite a fan club. Wish I was there!!! The night really went to the final song. "You're the Voice".It probably symbolises our work
there and the commitment of Australian Troops to the people of East Timor. The children, perched so trusting and happy on the shoulders of our men and women demonstrating, more than words, the way that the East Timorese feel about us. You men and women make me so proud to be an Australian. Thank you to all the sponsors, who gave air trips, computers and Dili Bags to the soldiers. We know who to support in future.
