Canberra ACT War Memorial

This place is a terrific reminder of past wars and those that lost their lives fighting for OUR freedom. The entry is a tribute to the unknown soldier It is an emotional feeling that overcomes the spectator upon realising what sacrifices these brave men and women have done during ALL Wars .There is a 180% cinema showing of fighter planes during WW1 an a fitting tribute to the warriors of the skies from a bygone era !! The film is very realistic and I had a feeling of actually being there ! Artefacts thru out the museum venue are authentic. A longboat used fo the landings in Gallipoli were of a steel structure but showing great holes where the armour piercing bullets penetrated the hulls with ease There is an amazing display of war planes from the wars.Lifelike model battle scenes have been re created for the viewing public and are very life like.Staff thru out were excellent and very helpful .Best of all Parking and Entry fees are FREE !! IF in Canberra go and see this amazing museum and give yourself plenty of time as there is SO much to see !!
