Just over 2 weeks ago we were travelling in Turkey and we visited Anzac Cove.
Today we'll be at the Dawn Service and then the band will be marching in the Adelaide Parade, but for moments throughout the day I'll be thinking of this place
- the Australian cemetery near Anzac Cove.
and also of this one - the Turkish Memorial near Lone Pine
Anzac Day posts 2009 & 2008
Read Craig Sisterson's blog post for today
Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read.
Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution,
will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

Nice pics Kerrie. My better half and I are planning to go there next year, as part of a 3 week trip around the region.
Kerrie - Thanks for posting this. Lovely pics and important things to think about...
Craig I can recommend a really good hotel in Istanbul (the Arcadia) and a really good tour company for Gallipoli - TJs Gallipoli Anzac Tours
Thanks for sharing these lovely Pictures, it looks like a very moving place, glad it didn't rain for the March today in Adelaide.
There's a couple of places that I really regret not getting too while I lived overseas and this is one of them.
I did go to a couple of cemeteries on the Western Front and it was just so emotional, and inspiring, and amazing.
