As we approach the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War on 15 August, you can explore the war year-by-year on the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs’ Anzac Portal in the new series Paths to Victory
Here you will find interviews with veterans, stories of service, images and newsreels from the time, and in-depth history books.
This week the focus is on 1939 and 1940. The war still seemed very distant for many Australians in the last months of 1939 but this would soon change in the coming years.
1940 saw Australians serving across the world, in places as far-flung as the Middle East and the Western Desert, Britain and the Mediterranean Sea.

It’s official. The Princes Highway duplication project will be completed.
The Federal Government is providing $202.6 million and the State Government $50.66 million to complete the last two stages at Flynn and Kilmany.
It’s taken a lot longer than I hoped but I’m not going to dwell on past fights... because we won!
Thanks Gippslanders for your patience as we campaigned to get the funding to build a better, safer Princes Highway.
This project will save lives, create jobs, improve economic productivity and boost our visitor economy in the future. I can’t wait to see the heavy equipment on site, getting the job done as soon as possible.
