Has visiting exhibitions from time to time about the war. Today was the 80th anniversary of victory in Pacific or Japan day and they have a searchlight. She’s pretty impressive in the Forecourt as was used to celebrate the end of the war in the Pacific 80 years ago.

A beautiful memorial to the Anzac forces. We arrived 2 mins before 11am just in time for the service to start. An amazing experience. A small boost there is also a Museum in the memorial, which we didn't expect, and is free entry. Certainly worth a visit if your in Sydney. It's in Hyde park.
