Australian War Memorial - Canberra






On a recent trip to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, Oliver took these great new shots... Having done a little research we were surprised to discover the following interesting facts: close to one million visitors go each year, it is the most visited national cultural institution in Australia, work began on the building in 1933 however the effects of the Great Depression and the outbreak of the Second World War delayed the official opening until Remembrance Day, 11 November 1941. Incredible architecture and a must see!
