12th June- Today was good to get an early start as we are visiting Gallipoli. Had a quick breakfast of vegemite on toast just to get into the sprit of the day.

Once off the ferry we arrived a museum and park entry site. Made a stop there to look at a map of the pensunila. It was a great way to start the morn...
