Which battle are the ANZACs famous for?
The ANZACs are most famous for the battle that occurred when they landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Because of a navigational error, the ANZACs came ashore about a mile north of the intended landing point. Instead of facing the expected beach and gentle slope they found themselves at the bottom of steep cliffs, offering the few Turkish defenders an ideal defensive position. 1500 men waded ashore that first day, but at the end of the day, 755 remained in active service. The remainder were killed or wounded.

Why did the ANZACs land near Anzac cove?
They were supposed to land on a stretch of low-land codenamed "Brighton Beach". But the strong currents of the Aegean Sea pushed them northward in the night and they instead came ashore in a tiny cove. Brighton Beach, as an objective, was a good plan. There was plenty of resistance, but once they were ashore the troops could have easily swept to the Dardanelles.

Why did the anzacs land in the wrong place?
When the ANZACS landed at Gallipoli they were ambushed by Turkish troops as they were off the coast of Turkey. The landing occurred in the wrongji place - one mile too far north due to strong tides which were not taken into account. This meant the terrain was not at all favorable and steep exposed hillsides had to be climbed. The Turkish soldiers were already encamped in this area and simply shot many ANZACs down as they came ashore. No more ground was ever gained than what was occupied by the ANZAC troops on the first day.
