Images of Gallipoli
Benchmark presentation that goes to the heart of the Australian psyche. Everyone knows a little bit about Gallipoli, but there is so much more to know. This presentation takes the viewer through the campaign, from why it happened to how it was conducted, what Australia's role was, and what the end result was. Focusing heavily on then-and-now pictures, this presentation will challengepeople's perceptions and understandings of this defining battle for Australia in World War 1.
Images of The Western Front
A boutique look into an extraordinarily complex and large set of battles from an Australian perspective. With a few alternative points of interest thrown in, viewers will learn the basics ofWorld War 1 and then dive into the main battles that involved Australia. Focusing on then-andnow images, the impact this war had on Australia and the impact Australia had on this war areexplored. Viewers will leave with a deeper understanding of the War to end all wars.
Images of Kokoda
In World War 2 the physicality of war came to Australia's shores, none more so than in our territory of Papua New Guinea. This presentation will explore the origins of Japanese aggression in World War 2 and how it came so quickly to Papua New Guinea in early 1942. With Australia totally unprepared for this type of warfare, viewers will see how and why Australians took on the Japanese and gave them a bloody nose in confrontations on the Kokoda Trail between July and November 1942.
Images of a Lancaster Navigator
The most recent of the presentations added to the stable: viewers will hear the story of one man's survival against the odds, navigating in Lancasters while taking the war to Germany's heartland. As the sole survivor of his Lancaster being shot down, viewers will hear what happened over the course of 8 months of incarceration in the German POW system, starting from the fateful night of the Lancaster getting shot down to the end of the war and a desperate mission for medical treatment back in England.
