| The
Anzac Commemorative Site is located at North Beach where, on the morning
of 25 April 1915, troops of the 1st Australian Division came ashore some
minutes after the first landings at Ari Burnu and Anzac Cove to the
south. North Beach was also the site of a major casualty clearing
station and resupply area during the Gallipoli campaign and from where
surviving Anzacs were evacuated during December 1915.
The Prime Minister, the Hon John Howard, dedicated the site on Anzac Day 2000. The memorial has both a commemorative and educational focus with panels that tell the story of the Gallipoli campaign. It is the major venue for the many thousands of Australians and New Zealanders who attend the dawn service on Anzac Day. |
