    War Stories

    Inspired by his own family history, performer Darren Coggan connects us to an iconic part of our heritage. Personal and exceptional stories of Australians at war are woven into songs that provide an intimate perspective of the tales that have helped shape our nation.

    War Stories takes you on an insightful journey into the lives of the Australians behind the lines. We reminisce about the generation of women who stayed at home and kept the country running. We celebrate the mateship, humour and courage in the Gallipoli trenches. And we honour our Indigenous diggers, a story rarely told.

    We must never forget our current service men and women. They are fighting a war that is different from any we have fought before. And just as hard as any before. And we must remember, we are all in this together.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    My last story on war stories is a bit closer to my heart. My dear Mother , departed last year, looked after my Dad, who fought the Japanese. Through thick and thin, physical abuse, and alcoholism, she stood buy him. He wasn't a bad man , just had too many demons. This song was my Mum's favourite,

    Plus working so in the knowledge that at any time in the future they may be called to account for their actions whilst fighting an enemy with an absolute disregard of what we consider as morals.
