Centenary of the First
Fleet
To mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy's first
fleet review, renowned Australian marine artist, Don Braben, has painted
an outstanding artwork depicting the then fledgling Royal Australian
Navy en-route to Sydney Harbour on the morning of 4 October 1913.
The artwork, especially commissioned for the anniversary, captures
a moment in time when the proud fleet of seven ships steam slowly
in formation. Browse

The Spirit - Gallipoli Landing 1915
David Rowland's atmospheric oil painting The Spirit - Gallipoli Landing
1915 has been desribed by critics as "the most accurate depiction
to date of the dawn landing at Anzac Cove on 25th April 1915". It captures
the essence of the action some thirty minutes after the initial landing
and strips away the myth associated with this iconic action in Australian
military history. The artist researched the subject meticulously, down
to the details of the uniforms, headdress and equipment worn that day,
the terrain, the shipping offshore, and the light casualties sustained
by the Australians around the cove at the beginning of the action. Browse

The Battle of Lone
Pine
The Battle of Lone Pine, one of the most famous actions of the Gallipoli
campaign, was mounted as a diversion to draw Turkish attention away
from assaults against Sari Bair, Chunuk Bair and Hill 971. These operations,
which became known as the August Offensive, were designed to affect
a breakout from the ANZAC perimeter. The Lone Pine battlefield, named
for a solitary Turkish Pine that stood there at the start of the fighting,
stands near the centre of the eastern line of the Australian and New
Zealand trenches around Anzac Cove on a rise known as '400 Plateau',
which joined 'Bolton's Ridge' to the south with the ridge along the
east side of 'Monash Valley' to the north. Drew Harrison's painting
shows the close-quarters combat amid the utter devastation of the battlefield.

The Battle of the Nek
Drew Harrison's painting is the result of extensive and painstaking
research into the tragic charge of the light horse at The Nek on 7
August 1915. Uniquely depicted from the aspect of the Turkish forward
trench, the painting depicts the early moments of the charge, when
the first line of light horsemen hurled themselves across the few
metres separating the combatants, only to be bloodily scythed down
before they could even reach the enemy lines. Browse

Combined Arms Contact
Vietnam 1916
For Australian soldiers Vietnam was largely a war of boots and bush.
Short range contacts against an elusive enemy. While it was often infantrymen
fighting on their own, there were occasions when they called on the
support of other arms and services-armour, artillery or air support.
Drew Harrison's painting depicts such an occasion. It captures the intensity
of close range combat and demonstrates the battle winning value of combined
arms action. It shows the Royal Australian Regiment, the 1st Armoured
Regiment, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and Air Force Hueys in the fight.

Operation Slipper
Renowned Australian military artist, Barry Spicer, has captured the
essence of this Afghanistan village patrol in his commemorative artwork,
'Operation Slipper - In Service Against Terrorism'. Painted in oil on
canvas, the image shows soldiers, bushmasters and the faithful working
dog, moving ever alert to unseen dangers. Browse
