This year Anzac Day fell on the Saturday prior to second Term in WA, so schools across the state were not able to showcase the event as they would wish to do so.
For those that are interested in our history, we advertise the innovative website that ABC Online has launched in time for ANZAC DAY 2009. It is called Gallipoli: The First Day and developers have utilized the latest technology. The innovative site allows the user to “be there” with the combatants - on the beach at Anzac Cove and in the cliffs above.
The computer graphics and simulations are very realistic and are enhanced by the use of primary source materials and Google Earth at Gallipoli.
The website should help dispel the myth amongst some young people that history is boring.
