Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Monument, Memorial monument in Port Albany, Australia.
The Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Monument features a crescent-shaped wall with a bronze figure on a circular paved area in Western Australia. Inscriptions on the site tell the story of Ataturk's leadership and create a place for reflection by the water's edge.
The monument honors the Turkish leader who commanded forces at Gallipoli in 1915 during World War I against ANZAC troops. That conflict became a defining moment in military history and shaped relations between Turkey and the British Commonwealth.
The monument connects Port Albany to Turkish heritage through pine trees grown from seeds collected at Gallipoli. Visitors can see this living connection that links two nations and their shared history together.
The monument sits along the boardwalk between Albany and Middleton Beach near Point King Lighthouse. The setting is easy to reach and offers a quiet place to walk and enjoy the view of the water.
At the center of the monument rests a time capsule filled with soil from the Gallipoli battlefields. This capsule creates a tangible link between Albany and one of the world's most significant conflict sites.
