Itinerary

This ANZAC tour has been carefully designed to connect you to the past and with any ancestors who may have fought and died during the Great War. Encounter tales of the soldiers who courageously captured the Messines Ridge at Passchendaele. Breathe in the scent of damp earth as you delve into the Wellington Quarries twisting tunnels. And hear the haunting final notes of the Last Post ring out whilst standing in the immense shadow of the monumental Menin Gate. Join us and uncover not just their stories, but perhaps a few hidden narratives of your own.

After meeting the group in Lille, well kick off our history-laden journey with a delicious welcome dinner.

Todays itinerary will take us from Lille to Ypres via the historic Messines Ridge. Our first stop will be the Passchendaele battlefields where well walk in the footsteps of WWI allied soldiers who fought to break the German line in 1917. Next, well pay our respects at Polygon Wood and Tyne Cot Military Cemetery before visiting the shell-scarred Hill 60. This afternoon, theres an opportunity to explore the fascinating Hooge Crater Museum home to a unique collection of WWI artefacts and reconstructed trenches. Well enjoy some free time this evening in Ypres our home for the next two nights.

Today, well continue to delve into the moving stories of the West Flanders Front, beginning with a visit to the In Flanders Fields Museum a unique institution that commemorates the four-year trench war and conveys a contemporary message of peace. This afternoon, youll be free to explore Ypres at your leisure. A medieval town that was completely destroyed during WWI and rebuilt anew, there is plenty of history to uncover here. This evening well reconvene to attend the playing of the Last Post at the iconic Menin Gate. Whilst renovation to the Gate is ongoing, well still be able to experience the ceremony that has been performed here daily for almost 100 years.

Today its out of Belgium and across the border. Our destination? Fromelles, the site of the disastrous attack of 19 July 1916 where well pay a poignant visit Pheasant Wood Cemetery and the fascinating exhibition nearby. After, well move on to the Wellington Quarries: a network of tunnels built by the New Zealand Tunnelling Company as part of the preparations for the Battle of Arras. Well remember Australias role in this battle at Bullecourt with a stop at the Digger Memorial later this afternoon. Concluding the day in lovely Amiens, well have the evening to spend as we wish.

The Somme still captivates the soul and its here that the ANZACs first saw major action in 1916. Today well visit Pozières and Mouquet Farm significant sites for the Australian soldiers, as well as Longueval and Flers, which were similarly monumental to the Kiwis. Before returning to Amiens, well also take some time to remember the colossal loss experienced by Great Britain with a visit to the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme. Reconvening this evening, well reminisce on our unforgettable tour over a farewell dinner.

As the home of the National War Memorial, Villers-Bretonneux is central to Australian WWI commemoration and memory. Today well visit the Franco-Australian Museum, a site paying tribute to the brave Australian soldiers who helped save the town and a monument to international solidarity. Well make a brief stop at the Sir John Monash Centre before shifting our focus to the last year of the war with a visit to Le Hamel. Our tour will conclude upon our return to Lille.
