“The new Anzac Hall is 'mindblowing'”

The new interactive displays in the Anzac Hall is simply magnificent. It was so good that we literally ran out of time. You need all day to see everything. We didn't even get a chance to check the second world war hall or the 1945 to current hall. We did get to see the bridge of the 'Brisbane' which was... more

If you think the AWM is just guns, tanks and the usual 'war stuff', you're in for a very unexpected and pleasant surprise when you visit. It sets out to give visitors an idea of Australia's experience of war.

If you like history and wish to learn more about our past the war Memorial is a must. The displays are set up in such a way that you can feel what it... more

Every evening between 5.30 and 6pm there is a touching closing ceremony at the War Memorial. They have it around the pool of Remembrance area. Make sure you have a look at it. A bugler plays the Last Post and someone reads some inspiring words. A soldier in WWI uniform stands behind the pool during the ceremony. It was a... more
