That is a bit sad really as I see it as one of those defining moments in Australian history that helped to build the nation and give it it's strength.

That doesn't really surprise me Ric.
Every year this date rolls past with nary a mention in the media. If this was America, it would be a public holiday. Whatever you may think of the Yanks, they do honour their history.
Sadly, the attitude of the average Australian to their history is one of "Best We Forget."
