In 1915, Albert Borella journeyed through 1000 kilometres of the Northern Territory’s Outback from Tennant Creek to Darwin to join up to fight in World War I. He fought at Gallipoli, and the Western Front, was twice wounded, commissioned on the battlefield, and was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest
honour for valor in combat.
The Borella Ride is being recognised as an Anzac Centenary 2015 programmed event supported by the Commonwealth of Australia and the Northern Territory Government.
