Gallipoli Rosemary| Anzac Day| Yandina-Eumundi RSL Service
The Yandina-Eumundi-RSL Anzac Day Service included a tribute to the importance of Gallipoli Rosemary with our remembrance..
What do we know about Rosemary? The Rosemary by our cenotaph, our Rosemary, was planted in the earth in 1991, 26 years ago. Now I've got a piece of it right here. But where exactly did it come from?
It could be said, knowing what you will in a few minutes, that Australians take Rosemary for granted. How did this bush, home in dry soil swaying in the ocean breeze up on Mediterranean sea cliffs, become such an important symbol for Australians remembering our ANZACS? What's so special about Rosemary?
That wild shrub's journey from the shores of Gallipoli Peninsula to growing by our Cenotaphs and adorning our breast pockets was a long one and its meaning in use as a herb symbolising memory, remembrance, and sometimes mourning, is found all across history.
The earliest recorded symbolic use of Rosemary takes place in Egypt, where it was customary to lay fresh sprigs across a coffin or at a tombstone.
In Ancient Greece, wreaths of rosemary were worn upon the brow by scholars to improve their memory - in modern medicine, research is connecting Rosemary with Alzheimers’ prevention.
The Virgin Mary was said to have spread her blue cloak over a blossoming Rosemary shrub while resting, turning the white flowers blue – coining the name “Rose of Mary” – but the name is more likely to derive from the Latin phrase ros marinus, meaning dew of the sea, likely referencing the fact rosemary thrives in harsh conditions, sandy coastal soils, flourishing wild by the sea.
More recently, it is referenced twice in the works of Shakespeare – first, in Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet is bestowed with rosemary following her untimely death – secondly, in Hamlet, where Ophelia hands Hamlet himself a sprig of rosemary, pleading him not to repeat his mistakes;
“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance, pray you love, remember.”
All this coinciding history hundreds and even thousands of years between, remains relevant – because according to most historical accounts, the association with our Anzacs began in 1915, when a digger from Adelaide, badly wounded in battle made it back alive to Keswick.
There, he was admitted to hospital with his belongings – but among them was a small rosemary bush tucked away, which he had himself uprooted from the slopes of the Anzac Cove. Per his request, the bush was planted on the hospital grounds, where it flourished for decades after. Sprigs of this symbolic bush that had travelled so far were worn upon the breast on Anzac and Armistice days.
After the Repatriation Hospital at Daw Park, South Australia was established during World War II, cuttings from the Keswick rosemary were taken, and it was grown tall into a hedge on the Daw Park hospital’s own grounds.
From this hedge, cuttings have sprung into full, lively bushes at Cenotaphs and at RSLs throughout Australia – named Gallipoli rosemary by the gardener who preserved cuttings of the Daw Park Repatriation Hospital’s rosemary at his personal nursery, and distributed by the Avenues of Honour Project.
When you stand by the cenotaph on Anzac Day, you might be humbled with the knowledge of how far the plant has travelled to be there.
So each year, we come together not only to pay respects to the sacrifices of fellow Australians, those with us and those who've departed, but to remember why they were necessary.
Like the Poppy of Flanders’ Fields symbolises Remembrance day – for similar reasons to why the Rosemary of Gallipoli is important to our ANZACS – we remember that our history, and those who have sacrificed so that we may remember it at all, are honoured in gestures great and small

Redgum Restaruant Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show
This episode, Vic Cherikoff visits Redgum Restaurant inside the historic Boronia House in the northern Sydney suburb of Mosman. Originally located at the corso in Manly, Uli and Sean's Redgum Restaurant relocated to Boronia House in 2001 when the Manly Pier was being renovated.
Built in 1885, Boronia House is listed as one of the finest on the heritage register and has a timeless quality. The wooden floorboards, open fireplaces and high ornate ceilings create a feeling of grandeur. Fully refurbished in 1997 the house offers a style that affords a sense of space, light and harmony. The French doors open onto the surrounding veranda' which overlooks the grounds and gardens. On a sunny Sunday afternoon you could believe that you are on a country estate surrounded by areas of open space instead of being 30 metres from the busy Military road. Inside, the restaurant is decorated in the warm colours of the Australian outback with large pieces of Aboriginal art adorning the walls and displays of native Australian flowers and greenery completing the fusion of Victorian and contemporary style.
Redgum's menu is a combination of European/Asian cooking with the influence of Australian herbs and spices with dishes such as Calamari with passionfruit and Mountain Pepper BBQ Sauce, Salt bush lamb with kumara smash and for dessert a gumleaf brulee.
Redgum Restaurant has since closed, and Boronia house operates as a wedding and function centre. However, Chef Ulli has migrated to Queensland and runs a highly successful Australian themed restaurant called Picnics at the Rocks at Yandina about an hour and a half north of Brisbane.
