WHY ORGANISING AN EVENT COMMEMORATING DIRK HARTOG’S 1616 VISIT – IN 2016?

In 2015 we will commemorate the end of the Second World War. We will be invited to attend the ceremonies or watch on TV as the lines of be-medalled people march by. The authorities will organise them, and millions of dollars have been allocated to be spent on the commemoration in its various forms. It will happen. We need not plan anything. Some of us are more involved than others because of family connections to the fallen. After similar attention having been paid in 2014 to the end of World War I, we again will commemorate war and history, this time with many of us old enough to remember. In addition, at least five countries in Europe will commemorate the Battle of Waterloo, longer ago but also considered an important historical event.

In 2016 there may not be huge international events like this planned and government may take a break from considerable commemorative investment, or commemorate the various bloody battles of WWI individually until 2018 also.
