What a learning experience. The ANZACS are a huge part of Australia’s and New Zealand’s history, yet it was not taught enough, when I was in school in the 60’s and early 70’s. A lot of the subject matter will be totally over the heads of primary school kids, but I suppose we need to start somewhere.

All up a fantastic display, and I was so glad that I spent the time to visit. It’s a credit and a legacy created to honour the brave, and the sacrifice that all Australian and New Zealander made during this time in our history.

Good setup with compelling and well designed presentations. I liked the inclusion of stories from individuals, which are set against descriptions of larger war scenarios.

My favorite display is the interactive table-screen. The view from the Anzac Center is great, and the staff...
