Product Description
More than 30,000 Australians visit Gallipoli every year, and the numbers are increasing as the centenary of the landing approaches in 2015. This practical guide book enables them to plan their trip, work out what to see and in what order, and gives the historical background to the major battles. It gives all the necessary information - both practical and historical - to appreciate what happened and where. Detailed tours (both walking and with transport) are described, and accompanied by specially drawn maps.
