Anzac Day 2024. Remember them all. Surviving was not easy.
Five years in the making, we're after some financial support to help complete the three part documentary series, The Oarsmen. We've already heaps of support from the rowing fraternity, the Australian Defence Force (ADF), rowing historians and experts but need further funds to license archival and photographic footage. All contributions can be made via Documentary Australia Foundation (CLICK ON LINK) https://documentaryaustralia.com.au/project/the-oarsmen/ Donations for Australian residents are fully tax deductible.
We hope you can all help us cross the finish line and get the series onto a screen. Thank you.

Travelling to HRR 2022. Media Pass approved. Here’s seven hand embroidered flags (by Liz Gemmell) to film on the Henley Reach course. The King’s Cup Allied army crews in 1919 flew flags on the sneak of the boat. 48 stars for the US. No Maple leaf for Canada.
