TUESDAY
Tuesday began wıth smıles and cheers, we packed up our bags and were herded onto the bus to embark upon our trıp to Istanbul. Not only dıd we get to enjoy a 6 hour bus rıde but we also vısıted some ınsıghtful memorıals along the way. The fırst stop on our trıp was the Informatıon centre. The Informatıon centre contaıned lots of ınformatıon on the Gallıpolı campaıgn and other Turkısh hıstory such as theır begınnıngs ın Constantınople (now known as Istanbul, where we stay next).
Our next stop was the Cape Helles Brıtısh Memorıal. Thıs memorıal was ın place to commemorate the fallen Brıtısh and allıed soldıers who have no known grave. Thıs memorıal was a beautıful one, massıve ın scale yet solemn. Our tour guıde Rıza gave us the hıstory of thıs memorıal and explaıned ıts relevance to our own Australıan hıstory. We then vısıted an ımportant cemetery to the Turkısh people. Thıs cemetery was dıfferent to the others as, rather than the common headstones whıch were stone, these were marble and the names were wrıtten on glass panels.
To fınısh our day we completed our journey to Istanbul. As we arrıved Mr Croft was jumped on by a man who offered us a place to eat our dınner. After our ınterestıng meal we trotted off to bed to prepare for our full day of walkıng tours the next day.
WEDNESDAY
As we sıt here to wrıte thıs blogpost the sound of the Muslım's call to prayer resounds around the streets of Istanbul, a rather shockıng experıence at fırst. Thıs call to prayer ıs ıssued 5 tımes a day, addıng to our knowledge of the Muslım culture we vısıted the Blue Mosque. Thıs mosque ıs famous for havıng dıstınctıve blue tıles and decoratıons wıthın the walls. The tıles wıthın the mosque are valued at $50000-$100000 each!! Before enterıng the mosque we were made to remove our shoes as thıs was requıred. As we ventured through the mosque barefooted, we observed the famous decoratıons and wıtnessed some of the prayers.
We were then thrown ınto an Egyptıan frenzy as we vıewed a relıc whıch dated back 3500 years. Only a thırd of the obelısk was shown whıch was stıll 20metres hıgh! Thıs relıc was sıtuated ın the centre of the Hıppodrome, whıch was the sıte of an ex horse racıng stadıum whıch seated 100000 people.
Perhaps one of the more underrated sıtes we had the pleasure to vısıt was the Underground Cıstern, an ancıent water supply cavern now a functıonıng museum. Overly beautıful I thought (Alıson!!). It contaıned many pıllars whıch each dısplayed decorated capıtals (tops). Two of the pıllars featured medusa heads, another was known as the ´Cryıng Pıllar´ or the ´Wısh pole´.
After our brıef outıng to the dark sıde we ventured outsıde to the blındıng sunshıne, trekkıng on towards the Topkapı Palace/Museum. Vısıtıng ıt's many dısplays, contaınıng jewellery, clothıng and paıntıngs of former Sultans, datıng back centurıes. After a delıcıous lunch of 75% lamb and 25% beef (don't ask, lol,) we made our way to the extravagant Spıce Market, wıth many of us buyıng the world reknowned Turkısh Delıght! :D! We then headed back to out hotel for well-earned foor, drınk and slumber. Zzzzzzzzzzzz!
THURSDAY
FREEEEEE DAY :)
After an apprecıated sleep ın, we joyfully frolıcked through the sunshıne towards the glorıous GRAND BAZAAR where we were met by the over enthusıastıc vendors.
"Aussıe? OI OI OI!! Specıal prıce for you beautıful lady!"
Just when we thought our wallets couldn't take any more and our arms could carry no more bags we trammed ıt to Taksım Square, actually an extremly long and extensıve versıon of Hay street ın Perth. Almost lıterally shoppıng 'tıl we dropped, we stumbled back to our hotel for a quıck rest before dınner. And that brıngs us to now, sıttıng here wrıtıng thıs beautıful pıece of wrıtıng whıch we know you wıll enjoy :D
So we bıd you farewell from Istanbul, Turkey!
MUCH LOVE KIM AND ALISON (FACE :P)

The Tour Totals Gallipoli !!
Today we ventured back to the Gallipoli Peninsula to explore the battlefields and war memorials. We started off at ANZAC Cove where we held our own private ceremony in honour of those who fought at Gallipoli. We layed a wreath on the shore of the beach where 94 years ago the troops landed and had a minute silence to remember them. This service was pherhaps the most moving yet as it was on those very beaches that Australian identity and nationhood was born.
Along the coastline graves we saw John Simpson's grave (the man with the donkey) which was very special as he was a hero to fellow Australian soldiers. As we journeyed to the top points of the Peninsula where battles in the war took place we went to a WW1 mueseum and looked at war equipment, soldiers body parts and clothing items, and photographs. We were shocked to come across a soldiers skull with a bullet in it's forehead.
Other sites that we visited included; The Nek; Shrapnell Valley; Quins Post; Lone Pine; The Turkish and New Zealand Memorials; and Ari Burnu.

Rest day in Çanakkale
After waking up from a very deep sleep following a busy day after the dawn service, we went down for our first Turkish breakfast. We were met by olives, cucumber and tomato which was something that no one was used to. We then had a free day that involved us either shopping, sleeping and trying the local kebabs! After this we watched the Australian under 17`s soccer team play against Turkey. Turkey won 2-1, only winning in the last couple of minutes of the game. On the way back to the hotel, we saw the model of the wooden horse of Troy. After the game finished it was organised for the team to join us for tea which was enjoyed by all, but slightly worried Mr Croft due to some raging hormones. We were clearly told no sneaking in or out of hotel rooms so we retreated to our rooms for a good nights sleep ready to revisıt the Gallipoli Peninsula tomorrow.

Western Front: Fin
Cabin fever hath come and gone for the boys of the ANZAC tour [jack especially being that he was out of mobile phone service and is now placed in a room with liam and lyndon, who recently divorced in an Arras seafood restaraunt, Lyndon citing Jack as the cause of the breakup] , today being a [slight] return to normality [and heterosexuality] except for jack who is madly in love with Pascal, as he announced in a speech (written in French) that Mr Croft had prepared for him to read out at dinner. [note: Jack doesnt know French, Lyndon wondered why it said "Je t'aime"]
You'Ll hear the full story later but basically Mr Croft OWNED any shred of Jacks dignity [*jack angrily throws starburts wrapper at wall*]. [Jack: Hes a bully bullman]
So t'was another day out on the battlefields, visiting another large crater, locating the tombstone of an Australian soldier [Evan Thompson] from Collie, a former CSHS student, visiting a memorial for unfound New Zealanders [choyce azz bro] and starting new paragraphs to bring the blog back to coherency.
We also visited a memorial to those soldiers who died from gas attacks. [Quick fact: many soldiers were saved by one soldier who was profficient in the ways of chemistry [wonder if he's related to Mr Abbott] and deduced that peeing on a rag and holding it to ones face would save one from the poisonous gas. The ureah in the urine would break the spine of the chlorine in the gas quicker than Crofty breaks Jacks ego.]
Also visited was the grave of a young 15 yr old victim of the war, and a German cemetery. The Germans seem to have a way of making their cemeteries look as if they were made for the bad guys, ie. as Colin explained there are many who find it too eery to enter. Although the German cemeteries are an important reminder of suffering from both sides, and that a death is still a death, no matter who orchestrated it.
On a proud note, we all suited up to attend the daily ceremony at the Menin Gate, where Liam, Jess, Tameeka and Natasha laid a wreath whilst the rest of us took the flanks [just incase of zombie attacks (you can never be too careful)]. This wreath laying was our second public representation of Collie students, Collie people, and the whole of Australia after L'Arc d'Triomphe [which Mr Croft just reminded me of]. We have received rave reviews from the locals and other Aussies [eg. Jim from down the ATM] who witnessed the ceremony.
And so now with chocolatey fingers and a weary state of mind we bid you adieu on this, our last day of heavenly bliss in the city of Ypres, where zombies lurk in shadows and veloceraptors hide in diguise, and the students and watchful adults of the 2009 Collie ANZAC Tour pack their suitcases, pull off their sweaty socks, fall onto bed and drift softly, slowly away, awaiting the big day that lays ahead of us...
BANG!! [the sound of one of many occassions wherein Lyndon accidentally headbutts something hard]

Freedom (and Chaos) in Ypres
Good day to you, from sunny Ypres. There are cats everywhere and the people give you free chocolate, we suggest you come visit. Ypres is a very picturesque city, with lots of old architecture which complement the beauty of this wonderful place. Jack says hi.
Today we were all fortunate to have a day off and explore this lovely location, seeing spectacular sights, doing some serious shopping and sampling scrumptious snacks (ie. chocolate, waffles, icecream.) We ourselves immediately ventured to the chocolate shop suggested by our friendly tour guide, Colin, and we were met with a warm welcome and a special offer. :D!
For some of us, the most important order of business was checking out the local clothing and shoe stores; with a few of us spending a little more than we should of (we're not going to name any here - Alison.) Often friends had to be waited upon as they gathered several articles of clothing to be purchased. Hopefully they have enough room in their suitcases, considering we've got Turkey yet to come.
After we had our lunch, some of us decided to go to the Cloth Hall (directly across from our hotel) and take a look at the In Flanders Fields exhibit inside. From then on, we were still given a free rein till the late afternoon. The dinner to follow was rather splendid.
Overall, the decision is unanimous that Ypres is an ideal place to visit and is certainly somewhere we'd see ourselves again. :)
Notice to parents/guardians: Please be aware that phones on the Telstra Pre-paid network are unable to connect to Belgian networks - we are unable to reply to any messages you might be sending. Until Friday, we will be in touch once again by the time we hit Turkey. We love you all though! :D!!

Next stop - Belgium
21st April
We left Arras on Tuesday morning, next stop - Belgium. On the way we stopped at many historical sights the first being the Canadian Centre at Vimy Ridge. Here we were able to walk through Canadian trenches which have been restored to their near original conditions. We also were able to see the craters left behind by mine bombs that were set up to destroy the opposing trenches. After this, we visited the Canadian memorial which was beautiful in structure, one of the biggest we have seen. This morning was one of the coldest we have experienced so far.
We made a short stop at Loos Cemetery where Mr Croft was able to find his great great uncle's name Edward Croft engraved on the wall amoungst thousands of others. These are the names of those soldiers with no known graves. Our tour guide Colin later informed us that during World War 1, four men died every minute of every hour of every day for four years, approximately 9 million. If these soldiers were lined up four a breast, it would take 81 days to continuously march past the same point. These shocking facts really hit home how enourmous this event was in human history.
Next, we visited VC corner which is the only Allied mass grave. Here, four hundred unknown soldiers lay in between two crosses placed on the grass. After this, we visited the Cobbers memorial which represents how the Australian soldiers rescued the wounded from the battlefield. The ruins of German bunkers also surround this area. Vc corner represented the Allied frontline whilst Cobbers was situated on the German frontline. These were separated by only a short walk.
After crossing the Belgium border we stopped for lunch at a small fast food restaurant where we tried the traditional Belgium sausage, the fricadelle and the famous frites (hot chips). After finishing lunch, us students found it exiting when we stood on the border between France and Belgium. We then left to visit more memorials and battlefields.
Toronto Avenue was our next stop. This is the only cemetery on the Western front where there are only Australians burried. Here we did a short ceremony of our own where Stacy read her poem 'Anthem For A Doomed Youth' by Wilfred Owens. A short bus trip away we visited the Place Of Peace which is a crater that occured in the battle for Messines Ridge 1917.
We arrived in Ypres where our guide gave us a tour of the city and then we checked into Hotel Sultan, the best hotel we've stayed in yet! It is situated on the Grand Plas, directly opposite the Cloth Hall. Before dinner, we attended the nightly ceremony at the Meningate, which we will be participating in on Thursday night. The last post was played and wreaths were laid. We had dinner at the Fritery where most of us ordered pasta and enjoyed ourselves as it was a reminder of home. We were then able to find our own dessert and and explore the town within boundaries.
22nd April
Today was a free day where most of us indulged in the famous Belgium chocolate and explored the shops of Ypres. Mr Williamson, Mrs Williamson, Mr Croft, Mr Moyses and Mr Sanders went to the Belgium Battery Corner Cemetery. Here, they found the grave of Henry Charles Gardiner, age 21, killed on the 21st of October 1917, from Mr Willo's home town which was very moving for him.
In the afternoon, we visited the Cloth Hall Museum that gave us a great inight into the ways the soldiers used to live, the battles they participated in and the impact on society. Tonight we will be dining at the Poppy Restaurant named after the famous poppies of Flanders Field.

Day 3 & 4
We left the hotel and started out tour with our guide Colin and driver Pascal. We journied out into the country side. Our first stop was in the town of Albert and saw the 'Fanny Durack' statue as the Aussie soldiers called it. We then travelled to Beaumont Le Hamel and walked in the trenches. Next we went to Theipval, where we looked through a museum and saw the memorial to the British fallen. We then went to the village of Pozieres where we saw the Rock of Gibraltar one of the German pillboxes that Australians captured, with the loss of enormous casualties. Here is the first division memorial commemorating the fallen. It was then off to the Windmill, a memorial for the second division, where Alison read a poem on behalf of the group. Next we went to Devil Wood, which contains the only tree to see through The Great War. We then continued the Arras and to our hotel. We freshened up and then headed out and found a fair in the Plas, which is a town square. We went on a few rides and even convinced Mr Croft to come on one. It was then out to dinner and then off to bed.
In the morning it was off to Bullcourt (Bull cor) and met the mayor. Then it was up the road to the Digger Memorial. Next it was Mont Saint Quentin where there is the fifth division memorial. We had lunch at Peronne at the Grand Le Guerre, built in 884 AD. We stopped at Adelaide Cemetry, where the Australian unknown soldier was taken from. Cassie read a poem and Mr Abbott read a speech. Next we travelled to Villiers-Bretonneaux Australian Memorial, here we conducted our own service where Janina read a poem, Jack sited the Ode and Kim, Alison, Cassie and Goya laid flowers on behalf of the school. Our final stop before heading back to Arras was the La Hamel Australian Memorial, the site of one of our most stunning victories of World War One.
The last 4 days have been amazing. We have learnt so much about not only the war but the country and ourselves. We have been able to reflect on the past sacrifices of young Australians. We have learnt a lot about the true identity of our country and what it means to be Australian.
