Very complete gathering of objects and information on Australia's war time involvements. We spent a couple of hours there and could have stayed longer. Good views from the top story although the stairs to get there are somehow difficult to find. It appears you can small group tours to take you around, and whilst we didnt take that option we found them quite loud and disruptive in the silence of the museum.

Highly recommend this tour. It was interesting, moving & very informative. Having said that a reasonable amount of fitness is required to manage the stairs to climb to the top of the shrine. Well worth it though as the view is amazing from each side of the shrine.
