ANZAC Day
ANZAC Day is an enormously special day for Australians and New Zealanders, a day which is set aside in honour of those who perished on April 25th 1915 during the First World War in Gallipoli. It’s certainly something that every Aussie and Kiwi should consider attending; and with a range of tours on offer, one can even tie in the solemn dawn service with tours of the fascinating land of Turkey and areas beyond.
