The old Erskineville Town Hall (1938). This one's always been an oddity. A much grander building was originally planned, but the locals baulked at the cost after the Great Depression so they got this little roundhouse instead. The Erskineville council was abolished just ten years after it was built, and so it's served various uses since. Now a free local community centre and venue for hire. Erskineville.

Anzac Day. A public holiday in Australia marking the landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps troops at Gallipoli Cove, Turkey, on 25th April 1915 - at the start of the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign which ended in ignominious defeat and evacuation eight months later after the deaths of more than 56 thousand invading British Empire soldiers and that many again among Ottoman defending troops. More than 100,000 dead in less than a year of cruel and bitter fighting.
