War Memorial

This is the first visit to the war memorial in over 30 years.
It is a magnificent place steeped in tradition, recognition and the glory and futility of war.
The memorial is being extended to almost double its existing size to house more battlefield history especially in more recent times.
The attention to detail of each exhibit especially the dioramas are so impressive that you feel you are almost in battle yourself.
When you visit the reflection pool you realize just how many wars Australia has participated in…something that I hope will stop now as more modern remote controlled missile systems remove the need for boots on the ground and identifies a changing of the guard in relation to thinking about modern day battles.
Good to visit the war museum to realize the honor and prestige the National Wartime museum represents to the great contingent of soldiers who served and died to keep Australia free.Leggi altro
