ABC Gallipolli: The First Day

http://www.abc.net.au/gallipoli

Gallipoli: The First Day is a new online 3D Flash interactive by the ABC exploring the events of the first 24 hours of the landing of the ANZACs at Gallipoli on April 25, 1915. Explore events (from both Anzac and Ottoman perspectives) via a 3D terrain of the Gallipoli peninsula. Watch the story unfold via 3D diorama animations and animations showing troop movements across the terrain. There's also archive photos, videos and diary entries, and a summary and historical analysis of the overall campaign.

You'll need the Flash 10 plugin installed on your computer to view this, and a solid broadband connection. There's also a small Google Earth component for those with slower connections - this gives an overview of the key events of the day and features a selection of media included in the Flash site, but contextualised within the Google Earth globe. You'll need Google Earth 5.0 for this.
