ANZAC 101-2 Dardanelles Traditional Cache

Kalgoorlie ANZAC 101 Series

The 101st anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign occurred on 25 April 2016 and commemorated a defining moment in the history of both Australia and New Zealand.  As a half Aussie half Kiwi caching team we decided to place this series along Anzac Drive to celebrate the friendship and special relationship between our two countries.

Each of the caches in this series contains one ingredient written on the back of the logbook or at the start of the log.  Collect each measurement and ingredient and you will not only have a great recipe for ANZAC cookies, you'll be able to solve the final puzzle!

Dardanelles

The Dardanelles is a narrow strait of water that runs for 61km and links the Black Sea with the Mediterranean.  It separates Europe from Asia.  The Dardanelles is naturally difficult to navigate and during World War I the Ottoman forces built defences along both sides and laid underwater mines.  By capturing the Gallipoli peninsula, the Allies hoped to allow the Navy access through the Dardanelles to capture Constantinople (Istanbul).  Source: ae2.org.au
