A must to visit when in Melbourne. This place has a feel about it that humbles most people. It was informative and I was really touched when on the hour people took off their hats/caps and stood respectfully in silence for a minute.

Based on the tomb of Halicarnassus, this monument is an ongoing remembrance of Australian soldiers who served and died. It was designed to honour the dead from from WW1, but has come to represent soldiers from Australia who served, and continue to serve, in all wars.

If you want the hair standing up on the back of your neck experience then the dawn service on ANZAC Day is the time to go. Otherwise it's a beautiful location set in a tranquil location and an easy walk or tram ride down St Kilda Road from the city centre.

We walked to the Shrine of Remembrance from Flinders Station. Very nice walk along the gardens and easy to find. The Shrine itself is something you shouldn't miss and can walk through and enjoy in about 20 minutes while visiting the Gardens/Government House. We started in the Visitors Center and worked our way through the crypt, the sanctuary and then...

The Shrine of Remembrance should not be missed. It is a somber, moving tribute and the architecture in remarkable and impressive. The rounds are beautifully kept and there is a beautiful view of the city. The Shrine is located close to the Royal Botanical Garden.

Not that much different than other war shrines. I think that my main objection is to how they glorify the brutality that is war.
