Published as an Open letter to the troops at The Dardanelles, 1915.

• Australia takes her pen in hand,
• To write a line to you,
• To let you fellows understand,
• How proud we are of you.
• From shearing shed and cattle run,
• From Broome to Hobsons Bay,
• Each native-born Australian son,
• Stands straighter up today.
• The man who used to "hump his drum",
• On far-out Queensland runs,
• Is fighting side by side with some
• Tasmanian farmer's sons.
• The fisher-boys dropped sail and oar
• To grimly stand the test,
• Along that storm-swept Turkish shore,
• With miners from the west.
• The old state jealousies of yore
• Are dead as Pharaoh's sow,
• We're not State children any mo

Coincidence and memory triggers can be odd. On TV tonight a bloke at Gallipoli quoted a line from a poem I had not heard for fifty years. Then an American asked about Waltzing Matilda tonight and it led to a search. This was written during the Gallipoli period. Federation was only fifteen years earlier and the unity was still pretty fragile before the war.

We're All Australians Now

I have several tech questions. I'll pose them individually or it will get very complicated. The first is on sports, specifically NRL. I have just cancelled my Austar/Foxtel subscription. I have a fairly slow rural web connection with a speed of 3 or 4MBs download on a good day.

What is the best way to get live streaming of home-and-away NRL matches during the season? Preferably unpaid, but paid if I have to.

I also have VPN, but using non-Aussie servers can be very slow.

MyTV is a modern Samsung 46" with an internet facility. I haven't bought a dongle yet. Can that be used for live streaming and if so, how?

RES 4.1.2 for Firefox is quick and responsive.

PS That is on the main RES page. I just noticed the link on the right sidebar now; trying that and will report back.

PPS It appears to have worked. However, I think the download section of the main RES page needs amendment.

PPS Yay! At long last the "link" function is back on Firefox on XP. Thanks RES.
