The Shrine of Remembrance was built between 1927 and 1934 as a place for Victorians to grieve, honour and preserve the memories of those that had lost their lives in WWI. Now it serves as a memorial to all Australians who served at war.
There are services at the Shrine for both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day with all welcome to attend. It's more than just a static memorial however, with an expansive museum space and talks that reflect on past Australian conflicts held regularly. Guided walking tours are also available. A Last Post Service is held every Sunday at 4.45pm, complete with buglers, bagpipers and Shrine Guard in historic uniform.
Admission to the Shrine is free though donations are welcome.
