The Borella Ride will represent Borella’s journey by symbolically retracing his footsteps - arriving and departing in each community by the mode of travel that Borella would have taken 100 years ago.

Travelling with The Borella Ride is a display that tells the remarkable story of the Northern Territory’s foremost soldier and only Victoria Cross recipient.

Borella was a modest man and didn’t keep a diary, so most of his story is told

through photographic material and the eyes of the people who lived around him, offering a view of life in the Territory 100 years ago.

A collection of historic artefacts and photos will be on display, including

replica weapons from World War I and items from everyday life in 1915. The Display will also tell the story of Borella’s thousand kilometre journey to enlist in World War I, and how this is being retraced through The Borella Ride.

Walk with The Borella Ride as it completes its journey on Tuesday, 3 March, through Bicentennial Park (alongside The Esplanade) to Stokes Hill Wharf in time to be witness to the Final Farewell presented by Ray Martin.

Why not dress in a 1915 themed costume and add to the atmosphere of the flagship Anzac Centenary activity for the Northern Territory, commemorating Albert Borella’s remarkable journey to enlist in World War I.
