Like any American, traveling occasionally is just what I love doing and I bet you share the same stuff with me. But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w Torres del Paine is among the biggest of Chiles national parks, occupying almost 600,000 acres (242,000 ha) of land in the south on the border with Argentina. It is also among the most important, receiving a significant proportion of domes
Too pragmatic to try fortune telling, I look tothe past to find out about myself and my family. Maybe in the lives ofthe people who had my name before me will I find clues to how and why Icame to be here. For that reason I trawl compulsively though microfishfiles, service lists and imposing memorials looking for my Dads greatuncles name amongst those who served in World War One.Almost a figure of lore, in my head Albert (Bert)was like Mark Lee in the film Gallipoli, young and lively, raring to go. Butthat is just how he has been described to me, as were, I imagine, somany others who were cut down in their prime, last seen by familiesleaving the Sydney docks bound for the fighting in Europe. Passing downthrough the generations a hero, I imagine Bert to be not dissimilar tome at 20, over confident, excited about the possibilities of the futureand not really sure what hes doing with his life. The story goes thathe joined up with three of the boys who grew up on the same street ashim after finishing school two years earlier and going to work on abanana farm up the coast - which he didnt enjoy - and which isprobably why he joined up. Next thing you know hes trained up and on aboat for Egypt then Gallipoli. Lots of men died in the campaign for the Dardanelles, but there isstill something quite special to an Australian about having a relativeat Gallipoli. Its supposedly the battle that proved our nationalmettle and is spoken about annually in hushed tones, a story to sum upall the other stories of the first and second world wars. Even ifyouve had no family blood mixed into the soil of the Turkishpeninsular its still a place for a young Australian to pilgrimage, butfor me visiting the site was somehow a way of honouring Bert and hisstory. Its virtually impossible to find out anything about particularsoldiers unless they were mentioned in dispatches but you can find outa lot about what it was like on those narrow beaches and on thosecliffs from the Australian War Memorial;and I did, but it wasnt until I stood on those cliffs looking over theocean in the bright sunshine in a huge Commonwealth War Cemetery that Ireally considered what it may have been like for him to die there. Travel is about expanding my horizons and getting some perspectiveon the world, and this trip opened my eyes to an experience almostimpossible to imagine these days. Its easy to accept the story of warwhen youre sitting in a classroom, but the reality is a little bitmore difficult to swallow until you put yourself on the spot, in one ofthese cemeteries next to a gravesite bearing the same name as your own.
