Steeped in history as the final departure point for ANZAC troops in World War 1 and for many, the last Australian soil they will ever touch. Albany has a central role in Australia’s wartime legacy and the best place to celebrate this is at The National Anzac Centre, within the ground of the Princess Royal Fortress, a powerful tribute to the brave men and women.

The National Anzac Centre is an immersive museum experience. Step through the doors, take a card, and follow that wartime hero’s journey. Interactive multimedia displays and personal accounts births a profound understand beyond just the lives at war with glimpses in pre-war life, enlistment, training, and wartime experiences. Walk through the exhibits and take some time out to digest with a stunning view of the Islands and imagine the boats shipping out with some destined to call the bottom of the ocean their forever resting place.

The National Anzac Centre is a must-visit for all Australians and those interested in Australia’s history. This rare in-depth experience will leave you with a new understanding. Relish the personal stories of the sacrifices made, discover the fate of your soldier, and leave your personal message of remembrance on the tribute wall for a powerful connection between past and present. If in need of some quiet time, the remembrance walk to the lookout is a great opportunity to stretch your legs, breath in fresh air, and look out to the water.
