Dedicated to the Sacrifices made by ordinary Australians in all Theatres, and on all fronts. From the First World War, through to today. Incorporated a informative and interesting visitors centre underneath. Well worth a visit. For international visitors, please show your respect by remaining quite, and to remove your hat as a sign of respect during your visit.

Went to see this window commemorating my great-great-great uncle. So well presented. Awesome, serene atmosphere. Wonderful place to remember the fallen. Lest we forget.

You MUST visit the Shrine of Remembrance. Take your time to read and learn of Australian involvement in war and peace keeping missions. There is no glorification of war, quite the opposite. The guides are informative and very happy to answer your questions. A very humbling and sombre experience. I personally intend going back to learn more and understand of this wonderful Country's proud history.

Great way to spend a few hours in Melbourne. There is a really nice viewing deck and a great museum (free) in the lower level. The staff was welcoming and informative.
