Anzac Cove

Anzac Bay is a tiny cove located on Turkey's Gallipoli Peninsula. It became famous as the location of the ANZACs' (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) World War I arrival on April 25, 1915. The cove is 600 meters (2,000 feet) long and is bordered on the north by the Arburnu headlands and on the south by Little Arburnu, also known as Hell Spit. For the next eight months of the Gallipoli war, the beach at Anzac Cove served as the major base for Australian and New Zealand forces.

The Anzac Cove - a World War I site – was the primary base for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) for eight months during one of the war's operations. It is the newest of Turkey's historical sites.

The Australian government declared in 2003 that it was in talks with Turkey to get Anzac Cove included to the National Heritage List, which also includes Australian landmarks like the Eureka Stockade gardens. The Turkish government, however, turned down the proposal since the Gallipoli peninsula is Turkish property and already has a national park under the Turkish National Park System. Danna Vale, Australia's Minister for Veterans' Affairs, requested that roads be built out in the region in 2004.impassable.
