The Anzacs.

Yes, and no.

The Australian and New Zealand forces in the Middle East were under very separate control and nothing like the WWI ANZAC version.

Moreover, Freyberg was probably a better general in some respects than some of his Australian (and British) counterparts, while New Zealand left forces in the Med which eventually fought in Italy while Australia brought its forces home to fight the Japanese, which had obvious benefits for New Zealand as well.

RS, was Tasmania also involved in the middle east since it’s close to Australia?, and if so, did they have a considerable contribution?

Youre funnie. Dont worry about it, most Americans and Canadians think the same thing as you did.
I want to go to Tasmania cause of the sprit of Tasmania.

In WW-1, 15,485 people enlisted from Tasmania. 12,907 saw service This is 8% of the total population of the time. 2,500 died. There was no problem getting Tasmanianites to join the war. Long live Tasmania! (where ever it is)…
