based on 864 reviewsWhile wandering around Hyde Park we stumbled upon the Anzac War Memorial. From a distance we thought the building was interesting so we walked closer to see what it was all about. As we walked up the steps through the reflecting pool in front we were greeted by a friendly man who asked if this was our first visit and offered to tell us a little about the place. He was a nice guy and I guess he was a volunteer, maybe a veteran. He told us about the history of the place including the old and new areas and who was responsible for each area. He explained the different areas of the memorial and the beautiful statue that adorns the center of the building. We didn't have time to take it all in as we were meeting up with friends from overseas nearby. So we will be back in the future to spend some quiet time and take it all in.

There is a new museum south of the Anzac Memorial, which has many well-curated exhibitions, especially about World War I and World War II. The plaque at the entrance reads "This memorial was opened by the Queen's grandson on October 20, 2018" (is Prince Harry too modest, or does a palace decree require that his name not appear here?). We enter a circular room with plaques naming every town in New South Wales that has sent men and women to fight. A plaque in the center of the floor names each war. Above is an open-air "eyepiece", reminiscent of the hole in the roof of the Pantheon in Rome. This is to commemorate these ordinary men and women who have made sacrifices for the war. Then turn right and enter a large room with a lot of war memorabilia, from weapons to models, from uniforms to medical kits, from brochures to photos, all with detailed explanations. It is divided into three sections, namely the memorials of the navy, army and air force, and you can easily spend an hour here. My suggestion is to visit according to the map at the entrance, which is more convenient. Admission is free. You can see the photos I posted
The Sydney Anzac Memorial is located in the famous Hyde Park in downtown Sydney. From a distance, the memorial looks like a huge monument. In front of the door is a long fountain, which looks very sacred. It is here to commemorate the Australian and New Zealand troops who died in the First and Second World Wars to defend Australia. It is very solemn and worth visiting.
The memorial is just south of Hyde Park, with a special station. To commemorate the participation of the Australian and New Zealand Legion in World War I, the exhibition hall is not big and consists of two floors. When we go, the lower floor is not open. Only the second floor can see it. It's not big. There is a burning torch in memory of the martyrs. There's a giant bullet sculpture on the right side of the door. You can see it when you have time.
The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Memorial in Sydney is located near Hyde Park and can be said to be the starting point of the park. In order to commemorate the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the survival of the country in the war, people now come here to feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of war in the solemn and majestic memorial, but they fought for the interests of the country without hesitation and at all costs. There are carvings under the dome, and there are pictures and text introductions of the war on the second floor.
ANZAC War Memorial The ANZAC War Memorial is located at the southern end of Hyde Park in downtown Sydney, Australia. It commemorates the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who died in the First World War. Australia was originally isolated overseas and the possibility of war was extremely small, but because it was a British colony, it participated in World War I with the British army. The ANZAC fought extremely bravely and paid a painful price, with nearly 60,000 casualties (some say 40,000, 150,000, etc.). This war also made Australia united. Australians used to introduce themselves to foreigners by saying "I am a Victorian", "I am a New South Welshman", etc. After the end of World War I, many people began to proudly say: "I am an Australian!" For Australia, a new era has begun. The memorial is filled with the names of the soldiers who participated in the war, and there is an ever-burning flame to keep the heroes alive.
ANZAC War Memorial is located at the southern end of Hyde Park in downtown Sydney to commemorate Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers killed in World War I. In the dense trees, you can't find it without notice. We saw the memorial in Skywalk, Tower of Sydney, and came to see it the next day. There is a reflecting pool in front of the memorial (north side), which is being repaired.
The Anzac Memorial is a very famous monument and statue in Sydney. Children will definitely love it. The free museum is worth your 30-60 minutes to visit. The plane was delayed and we arrived at the hotel in the evening, so we had to postpone the trip and come here the next day.
