There are a number of new programs available to coincide with Anzac Day 2013, as well as EnhanceTV's vast archive of previously screened programs. In The ANZAC Spirit, premiering on The History Channel, Neil Pigot tells six stories of the ANZACs through the resources of the Australian War Memorial, photographs, documents and objects.

Desert War is an exciting, insightful and subtly revisionist account of one of the most celebrated campaigns of the Second World War. Centred on the siege of Tobruk and the battle for El Alamein, this 2-part series peels back the official history to reveal jaw-dropping personal stories from the front lines, brought to life in searing drama documentary footage. There is a study guide available for this series.

ABC1 will broadcast The Gallipoli Dawn Service, the Villiers-Bretonneux Memorial Service and the Lone Pine Service from Gallipoli.

New Teaching Topic: Mining 

Mining has a long history within Australia and the landscape has changed overtime. The Gold rush period encouraged more immigrants to Australia impacting on population numbers. Australia has many different types of minerals and resources that are extracted from all around the county. 

We often hear in the media about mining magnates Nathan Tinkler, Andrew Forrest and Gina Rinehart. There are both positive and negative impacts of mining which are explored in the various resources available in the new Teaching Topic.
