The Be’er Sheva Anzac Memorial Centre — Attraction in Be’er-Sheva

Go. Go. Go. This is a five star experience. It is extremely well done and the neighbouring war cemetery is beautifully kept. I just stumbled across this memorial as there's little or no promotion for it but it is one of the best ANZAC memorials I've ever visited.

( No not saying, you have to go there to find out) . Exhibits are genuine, though limited, and I hope that over time they...
