ANZAC Day March, Melbourne 2009
Saturday, April 25th, 2009
Today I photographed the ANZAC Day march in Melbourne.
I had a roller coaster of feelings watching the ol’ diggers march down St Kilda Rd, it was an incredible and emotional scene.
I felt so proud to be an Australian, with a massive crowd there to cheer them on, and have so much respect and admiration for what the diggers did for us, lest we forget them.

Nice work, I think as I grow older I come to respect what these people have done more and more. Rate the classic processing and feel of #1, also #9 with the old uniform
Thanks Cain, appreciate the comment mate.
#9 has been the most popular, he certainly had so much character.
Incredible shots, Jared. I have many favourites amongst them.
Were you there in an official capacity or just one of the crowd?
What lens did you use?
Well done on getting them processed and published so quickly! Must’ve taken all day yesterday!
Thanks Mike, I was just there in the crowd 🙂
I used the 70-200 f/2.8L IS, and had some other stuff to do yesterday, so had to get them done Saturday afternoon.
cheers mate !
JARED, THE PICTURE OF THE LITTLE GIRL ON HER UNCLES SHOULDERS IN UNIFORM IS MY GRAND DAUGHTER ISABELLA. IT IS A LOVELY SHOT OF HER. THANKS FROM A PROUD GRANDFATHER -DAVID
Hi David,
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
She certainly stood out in the crowd ~ I can see why you are proud !
cheers,
Jared
Great photos. I would like to get in touch with David Doughty to see if there’s a connection with my husband’s grandmother who was born Kate Ethel Doughty in 1877. My email is Linda@peek.ws
I have a new website devoted to the family and Anzac Day – http://www.ddoughty.com
