EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Aaron Bunch, we are transported to the heart of Anzac Day celebrations in Darwin. The image depicts a vibrant scene at the Darwin Hotel on April 25,2022, where people have gathered to commemorate and pay tribute to our brave veterans. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the two-up ring, surrounded by an excited crowd eagerly placing their bets and anxiously watching as pennies soar through the air. This traditional Australian gambling game holds deep historical significance for Anzac Day, as it was played by soldiers during World War I as a means of entertainment and camaraderie amidst the hardships they faced. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation and nostalgia as participants immerse themselves in this age-old tradition. The image beautifully captures both young and old coming together to honor those who have served our nation selflessly. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in modern times, Australians continue to cherish their heritage and remember those who fought for our freedom. Aaron Bunch's skillful composition allows us to feel like we are part of this momentous occasion - witnessing firsthand how Anzac Day brings communities closer while honoring the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. Through his lens, he encapsulates not only a snapshot in time but also the spirit of unity that defines Australia's commemoration of its military history on this significant day.
