John Basarin from Friends of Gallipoli

I will soon be doing a flying trip to Gallipoli for ANZAC Day and today at Parliament I met with John Basarin from Friends of Gallipoli who has provided me with seeds (the great grand trees of the original Lone Pine) to take back as gifts. (Yes customs has approved).

As best he knows, they are the first seeds to go back that are the descendants of those that were brought home by our diggers.

I will also be spending a day to visit the graves and special memorials of our East Gippsland diggers who rest on the Gallipoli Peninsula. I have worked with the F Friends of Gallipoli in the past to have descendent pines planted in local primary schools and they are hoping to run this excellent initiative again in the future.
