Between 4.30 and 4.45 am the 3rd Australian Brigade - 9th (Queensland),
10th (South Australia), 11th (Western Australia) and 12th (Tasmania,
with some South Australia and Western Australia) Battalions and the
3rd Field Ambulance - landed on Gallipoli around Ari Burnu point. The
rest of the Anzac corps came ashore throughout the day. By the evening,
despite strong Turkish counter-attacks, the Anzacs held a narrow triangle
of land roughly 2 kilometres long at its base on the coast and extending
to just under a kilometre inland at its widest.
