Ataturk Channel and Memorial
Highlights
- Explore the scenic boardwalk from Albany to Middleton Beach, offering stunning views of Ataturk Channel.
- Visit the life-sized statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, a tribute to historical ties between Australia and Turkey.
- Access the memorial from Ellen Cove Boardwalk or Stirling Terrace, enjoying a pleasant three-kilometre stroll.
- Reflect on the significance of Anzac Cove while appreciating the serene beauty of Albany Heritage Park.
In a reciprocal agreement in 1985, the channel leading into Princess Harbour was officially named Ataturk Channel whilst the Turkish Government officially named the beach at Gallipoli where the Australian and New Zealand troops landed Anzac Cove.
In 2002 a statue of Mustafa Kamal Atatürk was erected overlooking the Channel. Overlooking the Channel also bearing his name, the scenic boardwalk that leads from Albany to Middleton Beach is home to a life-sized statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the President of Turkey from 1923 to 1938.
Access to the memorial is from the beachside at Ellen Cove Boardwalk at Middleton or by walking along Stirling Terrace from the central business district (a three-kilometre trip one way).
