Well done to the planners who planned this memorial as the walk up to it via the stairs is a moving experience. For those who are unable to climb the stairs you can drive and park at the top. With views over the harbour where the ships departed this is impressive.

Originally one of the military leaders who repelled the landings at Gallipoli in 1915, Mustafa Kemel was the founder of the Republic of Turkey, replacing the defeated Ottoman Empire. His title of Atatürk translates as Father of Turks. The Atatürk Channel was officially named in 1985 in a reciprocal agreement with the Turkish Government who named the beach at Gallipoli where the ANZAC troops landed “Anzac Cove”. The statue was erected in 2002 and includes Mustafa Kemel Atatürk's heartfelt speech: "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." Please note this is only accessible by walking or bicycle track, just along a bit from the Point King Lighthouse, but well worth the effort.
