The Australian Government has now announced the outcome of the ballot for individuals to attend the Dawn Service at Gallipoli in 2015. If you applied for the ballot then you will be notified in the coming days.
Successful applicants are encouraged to book and pay deposits for all travel arrangements as soon as possible. It is a condition of receiving attendance passes that you provide proof of a booking to the Department of Veterans Affairs by 11:59PM AEDT on 25 October 2014, otherwise the passes will be forfeited and re-allocated to the next person on the wait list.
For travel in April 2015, we currently have places available on our
Gallipoli 2015 – Anzac Day Centenary Tour, which includes premium accommodation in the very best hotels in Canakkale. The Four star Truva Hotel has undergone a multi-million Euro refurbishment, and the Four star Akol Hotel, are both in great waterfront locations, close to the ferry terminal with views across the Dardanelles to the Gallipoli Peninsula.
We are extremely fortunate to be able to offer these hotels over this period due to our special relationships and friendships with these hotel owners and their families, who can provide our tour members the very best accommodation which no other tour operator can match.
We Have Australia’s Best Battlefield Experts
As the ‘Official Travel Agent’ for the Australian War Memorial, our tours are designed by experts and lead by Australia’s most experienced and respected
military historians who have travelled and written about these battlefields for over 20 years.
The Gallipoli campaign has left such a powerful legacy, which is why our Gallipoli 2015 tour will be more of a pilgrimage than a battlefield history tour. Our historians live and breathe Australian military history, and have personally created this special in depth tour that will bring to life the experiences of the (often anonymous) soldiers while gaining a different perspective about the Gallipoli campaign.
There are also many
exclusive highlights which cannot be found in other battlefield tours, making this a once in a lifetime opportunity for those who are passionate about understanding the Gallipoli campaign…
