Arrived in Canberra at 10. First stop on the tour is the National ANZAC war memorial. It pays tribute to Australians and allied soldiers lost in all of the conflicts Australia fought. It is well staffed by volunteers, one who helped Dianne and me locate the names of soldiers killed in the Second World War.
