Gordon Campbell: Our Unhealthy Fixation With Gallipoli

At the post-Cabinet press conference last Monday, Prime Minister John Key had to field a range of official and personal questions from the press gallery about Anzac Day...

What the line of questioning signaled - beyond the attempt to crank up a diplomatic incident out of whether our Anzac mates are slighting us, on this most sacred of days - is that Anzac Day is becoming increasingly synonymous with Gallipoli. Is that really such a good thing?

In recent years, we have been told that the young are turning out in increasing numbers for Dawn Service commemorations. What message - if any - are they taking away from what happened at Gallipoli? More>>

Tim Rossiter: Visiting Gallipoli - An Eerie Birthplace Of Nations

When visiting the hallowed battlefields of Gallipoli the tiny port town of Eceabat is a very convenient base. Eceabat (Ed-jee-a-bart) is about ten km from ANZAC cove and the scene of all the courage and absurdity of the Gallipoli campaign 90 years ago. To get to Eceabat you have to get a 30 minute ferry from the larger port Cannakale.
