The route the Anzacs were meant to take to capture the high ground at Gallipoli


Brighton beach where the Anzacs were meant to be dropped, aground 2 klms south of Anzac Cove


The area where the dawn service is held. Tas and SA troops landed here. Anzacs called the rock �The Sphinx�


Looking north along the Ocean Beach where the Tas and SA troops landed.


Looking south along the Ocean Beach where the Tas and SA troops landed, Anzac Cove is the other side of the point.

NZ to Turkish Memorials at Chunik Bair. The highest point on the battle field. The Kiwis took it for 48 hours before Ataturk took it back. The ANZACs then withdrew. Only few places in the world where two opposing armies honour the same piece of turf.
