Gully Beach to Gully Ravine

See also:

Gully Beach^[2]

Gully Beach and Gully Ravine join at this location. This area is still technically part of the beach as it is very much open ground overlooking the beach directly but this view (pictured) becomes the start of the ravine, which in turn brings you to the RE Well, the Zig Zag, Geoghegan's Bluff, Redoubt C and the Border Barricade, to name but a few of the major locations along this remarkable ravine.

This whole area from the beach to the Allied front line, 4km in total, was of strategic importance and housed many men as well equipment and would have been a hive of activity; it could have been considered as the life blood for the men who spent large amounts of time living and fighting here. There would have been bivouacs, munition dumps, food, water, field-dressing stations, as well as stables for the horses and HQs.

↑ This is a short video of around 12 minutes, which covers the area from Gully Beach up to Border Barricade and the branch with the Nullah. It was made as a live record of Andy's walk in September 2007, and as such is not edited. The video contains some unscripted commentary, which at times is a little breathless and indistinct due to exertion. The file is supplied in .wmv format and is about 42MB in size.
