Agreed, it is a strange way to start a friendship. The main Turkish mosque in Sydney is called the Gallipolli mosque
It is hard to explain to people, unless they have some idea of what aussies are like when things matter, the core values of Australia. I feel that ANZAC day is maybe the most important day of them all, it is truly a day of remembrance and also sharing what makes Australians and Australia such an amazing bunch of people and a great place to live. It's about making sure the Australian spirit that was founded in the bitter fighting, the endless rivers of blood, and the knowing that regardless of the odds and the situation your mates and countrymen are right behind you when all hope should be lost and things really matter. its seeing the bright side and humour in everything and always.
