Review:

Minutes from the city center of Canberra is the Australian War Memorial. Though free to enter, there are some restrictions for those carrying in bags and other traveling gear. The memory of fallen soldiers is the focus of the War Memorial, which can often be eclipsed by large statues and murals depicting nameless soldiers. The first thing you’ll see entering the memorial is the reflecting pool Commemorative Courtyard. Here, the Roll of Honour names some 102,000 members who lost their lives during service. Only after passing the names, dotted by a field of poppies, will you come to the Hall of Memory with the unknown soldier. Once passed, the visit to the museum begins, where your family learns all about Australia’s military history.
