Dawn and Dusk at Anzac Cove
"I'm sharing my sunrise on the 24th Sept with C.B. Coe from the 8th Australian Light Horse. He died here on Gallipoli on the 29 May 1915. I don't know when or how, I don't know whether he even saw his last sunrise. But today we are seeing one together and that's all that matters."
"We walked into the glistening, crystal clear water, holding hands. It was amazing - the perfect temperature and perfect time for a swim. We stood in a line holding hands, facing the sunset, and we recited the Ode together. I really felt like they were with us. I took a huge dive afterwards and it would have to be one of the greatest moments of my life."
A tradition that has emerged on the tours is that the group spends its last day at Gallipoli watching the sunrise and the sunset from the cemeteries that flank Anzac Cove - Ari Burnu Cemetery in the morning and Beach Cemetery in the afternoon.
As the above quotes testify, both of these experiences provide further moving and memorable times.
