**THE CHALLENGE** is to make a model of Anzac Cove illustrating the extremely difficult terrain the ANZAC's had to deal with during the Gallipoli Campaign.
====To do this you will need to do some research. Google historical and present day photographs, videos, topographic maps and written descriptions. You will discover that by mistake the ANZACs landed in the worst possible spot.====

At Anzac Cove the beach is backed by a rocky, prickly, scrub-covered area with little water. The limestone hills are steep-sided, cut by erosion into knife-edged, deep gulleys and ravines.
====Among the hills which lie along the spine of the Peninsula, there are many peaks, ridges and valleys. The Turks positioned themselves in trenches on the ridges which put the ANZACs at a desperate disadvantage.====

How to build your diorama:
====Using the technique below, your model can be as detailed or as rough as your age, ability, interest and patience permits. If you prefer you can build the model's skeleton using chicken wire or cardboard.====

This method uses scrunched up newspaper and masking tape instead.
