The Australian War Memorial is a must see for everyone, despite the sobering subject matter. The exhibitions are well assembled, placing the emphasis on personal stories, memorabilia and education. The Hall of Memory and the Pool of Reflection offer time to commemorate the efforts of countless Australians lost in war. The facilities offer an extensive research centre and award winning exhibitions. The Memorial is a commanding fortress for history, and a constant reminder of the effects of war. Every April 25th, the AWM holds an Anzac Day Service. Admission is free.

Anzac Day Service Apr 25th, 2010
Anzac Day is an important national day to commemorate those who fought for Australia. The day is named after the first major military action in World War I, fought by Australian and New Zealand forces at the landing of Gallipoli on 25 April. A dawn service is held at the Australian War Memorial before the Anzac Day Service later in the morning. Returned men and women from the army, air force and navy take part in a march before the service. An address by the Governor General and the laying of wreaths are part of this moving service.
