The Shrine of Remembrance is Victoria’s largest and most visited war
memorial and is Melbourne’s most recognised landmark. It is located
located in Kings Domain on St Kilda Road, Melbourne. 10am - 5pm daily,
closed Good Friday and Christmas Day, admission is FREE, however, the
Shrine welcomes donations. For any Australian who has had family members
in any of the services this is an emotional place to visit. We took out
three grand children here for a visit, all three were captivated with
much of what was on display. Young master grandson 14 years has always
had an interest in the family Military history and he enjoy his time
here the most and was in no hurry to leave. Many photos were taken, and
with the beautiful views from the roof over looking the city of
Melbourne. We took the time to watch the 10 minute audio/visual
presentation on the history of WW1 and The Shrine and were so pleased
that we did. I highly recommend a visit to the Shrine for all
Australians and Tourists alike, you will not leave disappointed.
