Concept –
What is the Anzac Commemorative Site
and why was it built?
A new Anzac commemorative location has been built at Gallipoli in conjunction with the New Zealand government and with the approval of the Turkish government. The new site, with its informal low stone walls, paths to the beach and information panels will become a focal point for visitors to this heritage area of special significance to Australians and New Zealanders. |

Built three hundred metres north of Ari Burnu, the site of past Anzac Day dawn services at Gallipoli, this site is dominated by a rocky hill named the Sphinx. It was the site occupied by the elements of the 11th and 12th battalions on the day of the landing and was one of the main places where the evacuation took place, nine months later. |
