Looking Back: Scoop Takes A Journey Back Through ANZAC Day Coverage

Scoop Feature: ANZAC Day provides an opportunity to take a look back at Scoop's coverage, marking a day when Australians and New Zealanders stood side by side, forging a partnership that still exists today. The tragedy of Gallipoli saw the birth of the ANZAC spirit and what is now seen by many as the birth of Australia and New Zealand as separate nations, and a want to be independent of old Mother England.

Looking Back: An ANZAC - A Man of Peace - ANZAC Day - April 25 always brings to mind one man more than any other. Why?

He had witnessed the worst and the best of human endeavour. He called himself Chino. His simple life's story made an impact, he shared his wisdom and he passed hope for us all as we approached this new century, he left a legacy of hope. See… China Mulligan, A Man of Peace
