Anzac Day - Tours
A number of tour companies offer ANZAC-themed tours, principally to Gallipoli on the north-western coast of Turkey. Tours can range from a quick 'once over lightly' backpacker experience to an expertly guided historical review of the battlefields and surrounding locations. Tours to northern France can also be taken, although most of these deal with the conflict in general, rather than the ANZAC's specifically.
