Surrounded by beautiful green gardens and a majestic structure indeed. If you go inside, there is some information and you will meet some interesting characters who will tell you all about 'the war'. Good for history buffs and nice photo opportunity. Easy to get to via tram along St Kilda Rd.
Another must see for museum goers. It tells the history of the Australia's armed forces and has heaps of info on many of the battles they fought in. The vies from the top are quite spectaculer. There is a sombre athmosphere here and rightly so. A great tribute to the fallen.
Brilliant! Great views across the Botanic Gardens to the CBD, but also, a magnificent memorial to those lost through war. Go at the end of the day (5pm) and watch the small ceremony as the Last Post is sounded and the flags are lowered.
I was visiting the Shrine of Remembrance and was invited to hear about the Shrine and the Remembrance commemoration by the guide after which he replicated the Remembrance day experience by having a recording of the last post to be played and then for a shaft of light to shine on the tablet 'Greater love hath no man' as it would be on 11th hour,11th day 11th month.It was such a moving experience,I felt very priviledged.
Awe inspiring I do wish we in the uk held a similar reverence. A visit at sunset is wonderful and would recommend!
