With #ANZACDay 2026 disappearing I was surprised by having a mention of the Mucky Duck Bush Band flit across my path, which had me wondering where a sallow youth who'd played Heart Like A Wheel at the Stables folk night on the steep Malcolm Street in Perth had got to.
Discovered that he died in 2025, though the band lives on. And found a vid.
(NYEs with Mucky Duck at Rosalie were good fun.)

Certain subjects carry their composition with them. The bearing this officer has comes from training that became instinct years ago — not performed for the camera, simply how they stand. The white dress uniform and the ceremonial mace do not need any help from me. Formal occasions are underrated for this.

A marching formation makes individuals disappear — same pace, same direction, similar uniform. What photography is looking for is the face that's going somewhere inside itself rather than along George Street. You get perhaps two rows to find it before they've passed.

Two years I missed the RAAF flyover at the Brisbane march. Not because I wasn't there — because I was still searching for the jets when they'd passed. The lesson: choose your background first. Lock focus on the empty sky above a heritage roofline. When you hear the engines, don't search. Just shoot.

Angus Taylor says the Welcome to Country is "overused".

You heard it, guys. We need to stop welcoming colonisers, and just tell them to fuck right off.

Australia Must Prepare for Wars of the Future

As we honour the fallen on Anzac Day with solemn words like "lest we forget," we must also confront a harsh reality: our nation's tribute to the past shouldn't overshadow the need to prepare for the wars of the future. By doing so, we can ensure that their sacrifice wasn't in vain.

Today, #AnzacDay, seems like a good day to revisit Eric Bogle's song "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda." It's been recorded by Bogle himself, and the Pogues, and about a million other people, but to me, this will always be the One True Version of this towering #folkmusic classic.
