Australian War Memorial
Australian War Memorial pays tribute to Australians who fought in global conflicts. A large white building with a green dome serves as the site's focal point. It houses the commemorative area, including the Hall of Memory where the Tomb of the Australian Unknown Soldier lies. Inside, three walls of stained glass and four walls of mosaics depict Australian servicemen and women. In an outside courtyard, a memorial pool surrounds an eternal flame. A museum and archive details Australia's military involvement around the world. Put Australian War Memorial and other Canberra attractions into our Canberra online trip itinerary builder, and watch your holiday take shape.

Always wanted to visit this place and it doesn’t disappoint. Carefully and respectfully created, the individual stories of the VC holders are one of the first displays and it really sets the scene...

Simply an amazing. It's undergoing some massive works for the next couple of years, which will make it so much better. We all loved it. It's a very emotional place to visit. Every Australian should visit this at least once to appreciate what our diggers have gone through & to see the history of our armed forces.

One of the best places to visit in Canberra, especially for young ones that are interested in military vehicles. Make sure you ask where to park if you want to go around and see the large outdoor vehicles as they are not part of the main exhibit. Still free to access, but it's a lot easier if you drive around the back and park.
