The Shrine of remembrance is one of the important tourist attractions in Melbourne and is a place of historical importance as well. This shrine, a war memorial as well, was constructed as a symbol of patriotism to the hundreds of Australian soldiers who lost their lives during World War I. The memorial was open to the general public on 11th November 1934 and is currently one of the biggest in Australia. Every year, on the 25th of April, ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is observed here and the Remembrance Day, held on 11th November each year. Self-guided or guided tours are available daily and lighting on the building is particularly beautiful at night.
Holding over 120 ceremonies and commemorative services throughout the year, this is also one of the most active venues for paying tribute to our heroes. It is situated in a great vantage point that offers beautiful views of Melbourne city itself as well as the bay area. This makes for a must-visit while in the city for both historical and scenic purposes.
Today, tourists who come to this memorial can get a bird’s eye view of historic incidents through the memorial’s exhibition and museums. Lots of educational activities happen regularly to teach people about the richness of their bygone legacy.
