The initial reason for the ANZAC remembrance was the landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. 744 men were killed on the first day, and about 620 of them were Australian. Over the ensuing months, many more were killed, but this was not a single battle - it was a long, protracted campaign, the Campaign of Gallipoli.

Australia Day, ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day
ANZAC Day commemorates the landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast.
Most ANZAC Day services are held at dawn. Others which are held later must be completed before 12:00. Note that, as ANZAC is a solemn remembrance, it is not "celebrated", but rather, "commemorated".
Remembrance is an Anzac word. It is a day when Australia and New Zealand remember the individuals who served in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) during WW1. It is celebrated on April 25th.
Initially, it was a day of remembrance for those ANZACs who lost their lives at Gallipoli, but it has long since become a day of remembrance for all ANZACs who died in all wars.
Normally, there are not two ANZAC Day holidays. ANZAC Day is always the public holiday. In 2011, ANZAC Day fell on the Monday after Easter, which was already a public holiday, so there was an extra holiday on the day after ANZAC Day.
