An awesome building set amongst beautiful gardens and with stunning views of Melbourne. The Shrine is a monument to those it represents and if you are able to time it to see the ray of light, it really sets off the whole visit.

We visited the shrine on mothers day. I had never been there before and it was very moving. What a beautiful building the shrine is. Unfortuanately the crypt was closed when we were there but we still enjoyed the experience and the memory's of our diggers and how they fought for the freedom of this country,
It is a great site to learn about Australia's war history. Also as it is situated at the end of one of Melbourne's main boulevards (the street curves around it) you get a magical view of the city after dusk.
An awesome place to visit. Very quiet and respectful. Would've liked to see more Kiwi stuff (the NZ in ANZAC).
A must for all Kiwis a really beautiful place, more significant to us as it was the day before Anzac Day we visited.
Stunning monument, I had no idea how huge it was. Great history lesson for the kids and a reminder for us of how and why this country is such a great place to live!
Really interesting And with beautiful gardens. Also TRY to go at 11 am when you can ser The sun shinning over The word love Inside The building! Really beautiful And fascinating

As the name suggest it is a shrine of Remembrance of those for fought for the freedom of humanity. There are scheduled guided tours in the premise by volunteers and the time allocated for a good visit would be from 1 - 2 hrs.
This is a great shrine, some make you depressed reading hundreds of names, but this shrine is uplifting. I can't say why it old be its elevated position on a hill overlooking one of melbournes finest parks. There is something or children too
The ceremony is very touching. I am just not so sure I would want to spend alot of time here if you are limited in time. The view from the top of the steps was wonderful.
