Copy and paste the above link AFTER you have read the following information and considered whether your computer can handle the website.
From the ABC: "You'll be able to explore both Anzac and Ottoman perspectives alike, and examine in detail the experiences of individual soldiers throughout the day, as well as the military technology of the time." Includes a special layer using Google Earth.
Requires the latest Flash 10 plug-in. Recommended: ADSL2+ internet connection, 2GB RAM. Advice to teachers: make sure the program works on your classroom computers BEFORE the lesson (it may cause the web browser on many school computers to lock up). Also read the help page.
Take the "Quick Tour" first to be able to get the most out of the site. Note that use of much of the site depends on information that is provided only by spoken words.
