Today we visited Gallipoli.
Our first stop was ANZAC Cove. I’ve read about the terrible terrain that ANZAC’s faced when they first landed but to actually see it, stand on the beach and look up at it was something else again.
From ANZAC Cove we made our way to the first cemetery, Lone Pine and finally Chuink Bair.
The area of Gallipoli peninsula just doesn’t seem large enough to contain all the bodies that rest there.
It is truly amazing to see the friendship that Turks have for the ANZACs despite/because of the events that took place at Gallipoli
I can’t put into words everything I felt seeing the place that in so many ways was the birth place of Australia as a true Nation.
