Simply a must visit, amazing collection of war memorabilia and stories. Some stories will break your heart, plenty of additional works going on to make it even bigger. You will need all day, take a break at Poppy's for a feed and drink. And return for the last post ceremony at 4:30pm.

The Australian War Memorial is a profound tribute to the sacrifices of Australian servicemen and women. Located in Canberra, it effectively combines a museum with a memorial, showcasing an extensive collection of artifacts and personal stories that illuminate Australia’s military history from World War I to the present. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, offering visitors a deep, emotional connection to the experiences of those who served. The architecture itself is impressive, creating a solemn yet reflective atmosphere. Events like ANZAC Day draw large crowds, reinforcing its importance as a place of remembrance. Additionally, the memorial’s commitment to research and education enhances its role in fostering understanding of Australia’s wartime experiences. Overall, the Australian War Memorial is a must-visit for anyone seeking to honor and comprehend the impact of war on Australian society.

The Australian War Memorial is a tribute lace everyone should visit. It is sobering to think that every name on the Roll of Honour is a life lost a countless families changed forever. I attended the last post ceremony at 4:30pm and it was such a powerful moment.
