So thrilled to be interviewed for Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts. “With ANZAC Day just around the corner, I caught up with Belinda to ask a few questions about the book, her process for creating it and changes she’s seen in the book world over the past 10 years.”
Here at last!!! Release day for Anzac Ted 10th Anniversary Edition!!
Excitement abounds, because not only has Anzac Ted been re-released after a decade of being beloved by Australia, NZ and beyond, but this new edition brings some fabulous new additions. These include the new “classic” hardcover, a section on our friends the Turks and of course the long awaited “How to Draw” and “Colour In” page. As always, thanks to the brilliant team at EK Books.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”
Today, on the ANZAC Day Centenary, we remember the efforts of not only the men but also the women who toiled alongside the soldiers during wartime. Whether these women were nurses at the front or stayed at home to literally “keep the home fires burning”, their role was just as important as those of the men they supported.
This war mural (in colour) on the GrainCorp Silo painted by Melbourne artist Cam Scale, illustrates two women who, although separated by a century, remain inextricably linked by their role in the protection of our country.
The silo is a poignant reminder of the female influence during all wars, as Scale stated; it “would show the changing role of nursing and of women’s role in society and the military”. (Latrobe Valley Express, C. Webb)
Lest we forget.
