- Guide
In 1914, more than 41,000 soldiers departed from Albany to fight in World War I. For many of them, it was their last glimpse of their homeland. Now, at this exact location, you can find the high-tech, award-winning National Anzac Centre. This modern museum leverages multimedia, engrossing technology, and authentic exhibits to forge a deeply personal link with history and honour those who fought.
The museum combines classic exhibit displays and engaging multimedia content to guide the visitors on a journey. Visitors adopt the persona of one of 32 real soldiers and trace their voyage through the Great War—starting with recruitment, transitioning into training and embarking, leading into life aboard the convoy ships, and onward into the battles at Gallipoli, the Middle East, and the Western Front. For the fortunate ones who made it back, visitors will see firsthand their struggles when reintegrating back into everyday life.
