Gallipoli ANZAC Battlefield Guided Walking Tour
A self-guided walking tour from ANZAC Landing Beach along the second ridge (actual firing line)
Anzac Walk commemorates the places where Australians served and died on the Gallipoli peninsula.
You will hear stories about the Australian soldiers who served on Gallipoli in 1915. These insights will help you to travel back in time as you stop at each site along the walk.
The term ‘ANZAC’ stands for ‘Australian and New Zealand Army Corps’. The Anzac legend has its roots in Gallipoli and the First World War when Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey on 25 April 1915.
On 20 December 1915, the last Australian soldiers left Gallipoli from Williams' Pier at The North Beach at Ariburnu.
On 25 April 1915, the Allied battleship tows lost their way in the dark. The Australian soldiers expected to land at a gently sloping beach. Instead, they landed before the cliffs of Ari Burnu.
Hundreds of soldiers rushed up the steep slopes. Turkish shells burst all over the area, causing many casualties.
The Battle of the Landing lasted until 3 May 1915.
