Friends of Gallipoli
Emma KEALY (Lowan) (09:43): It was my pleasure to join the Friends of Gallipoli last week to plant lone pines at Maroona Primary School, Dunkeld Consolidated School, Hamilton (Gray Street) Primary School and Branxholme Wallacedale Community School. This is of course a fabulous initiative of the Friends of Gallipoli, which is about not just commemorating what happened in the First World War, the Great War, but also recognising the great friendship that has developed with Turkey since then. I would like to acknowledge John Basarin and Kelvin Thomson, who joined me in the tree plantings, and thank the Friends of Gallipoli for their great work commemorating the friendship with Turkey and what happened at Gallipoli during the First World War.
