The battle at Gallipoli lasted some 8 months between the Anzacs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) and the Turkish Ottoman’s who were allied with Germany at the time.

Great Ocean Road – London Arch
The Great Ocean Road makes for amazing driving as you struggle to keep your eyes on the road and take in the view.
