A memorable visit for any international tourist or domestic visitor to Melbourne. It's nice to see the respect and honour given to those who laid down their lives foŕ their country. Large open spaces surround the Shrine on all sides. Perfect place for a day picnic. Fantastic views of the city from the top of the Shrine.

Peaceful and lovely place to visit. Beautiful in and out. Gallery is very informative and well maintained. Reflects the sense of gratitude for all the service and sacrifice. Nice architecture and there is access to balcony. I was lost looking at the view from balcony. If you want to have a keen look and interested in history, then you can spend a day here. A place I can visit multiple times without a second thought.

It is brilliant what has been done beneath that magnificent monument, well worth a visit. The guide was a lovely bloke, full of interesting information about the initial construction. The massive black columns made from solid, 300 million yr old sedimentary rock. Go there.

Absolutely a place to put on your travel list. Very helpful staff. Give yourself a couple of hours to take it all in & a walk around the park. Will return when we go back to Melbourne.

This place is really nice. The view is marvellous. The best place to come when you visit Melbourne. Plus it's not far from the Royal Botanical Garden.
