Anzac commemorative site above North Beach, Gallipoli with the islands of Imbros and Samothrace on the horizon. This site was created as a joint effort of the New Zealand and Australian governments in cooperation with the Turkish government. It was dedicated by the Prime Minister, Helen Clark, her Australian counterpart John Howard, and the Turkish Minister of Forestry on Anzac Day 2000. They unveiled a plaque stating that the Gallipoli Peninsula Peace Park is dedicated to the pursuit of peace, harmony, freedom and understanding.

Scrolling right, is the beach with the outposts in the middle distance, then Walker's Ridge, the Sphinx and, in the foreground, the wall containing panels depicting episodes in the campaign immediately below the Kabatepe-Suvla road, and Plugge's Plateau running down to Ari Burnu point.

Panorama help
Once the movie downloads (about 1-2 mins on a 56k dial-up connection) you can move around inside the image with your mouse pointer, click and drag to explore. If the question mark symbol in the grey bar is highlighted you can click on it to see hotspot links. These are either in the form of roll-over text (an empty circle appears when rolling over) or links to other panoramas (a small globe appears when rolling over). The + and - are to zoom in and out. This panorama requires QuickTime 5 or later to view.
