ENORMOUS Numbers. The population in Australia during WW1 was around 5 Million. It would have been difficult to find a family or settlement that would not have been touched personally.I sat in the new Perth (optus) stadium jam packed during the AFL finals, which holds 60 000 and thought WWI deaths would have overfilled this stadium. Very sobering thought.I did a trip to Albany ANZAC memorial, and saw the field of lights which is on till ANZAC day this year. Again a sobering display. Albany was the last of Australia many ANZACs would have seen. I learned a lot during the visit, some incredible stories have stuck with me.
