Located atop Mount Clarence in Albany, the National ANZAC Centre is a world-class museum that tells the story of the 41,000 Australians and New Zealanders who departed from Albany for WWI in 1914. This modern facility offers an immersive, interactive experience where visitors receive a card with a real ANZAC’s identity to follow their personal wartime journey throughout the exhibits.
Stand-Out Feature:
The innovative interactive experiences include the convoy map table where visitors can track soldiers’ journeys and the unique iPad harbour view feature that shows historical ships in their original positions. The Pool of Reflections provides a moving tribute with names rippling towards the harbour through strategically placed windows.
Top Tip:
Best suited for children 8 years and older due to war themes. Each visitor gets an audio device that works on a swipe system, allowing you to explore at your own pace. The Heritage Park surrounding the centre offers family-friendly walks with amazing views and wildlife spotting opportunities – perfect for younger children who might find the museum too serious.
