“This is an amazing place. We spent about 4 hours here. In the center, you're given a card with a soldier's picture and name. You'll also receive a microphone device that when placed near the letter A will give historical stories about men of war. They ask you to be quiet on your tour, which isn't difficult in this moving trip through WWI. Afterwards, we went for a tour of the barracks and a history of Albany. We climbed up the hill for a beautiful view of the vast harbor. A great day!”

“Brilliant location (though access from the town is difficult without a car. They need a shuttle bus!). Great exhibition with good coverage of the ships convoys from Albany and the events of WW1. We were even able to find the name of one of our forebears who was an Anzac.”

“A truly emotional experience looking at our involvement in WWI and the sacrifices made. Plenty of exhibits of WWI history and interactive audio and video displays. Much more to see in and around the grounds accessible by walking tracks. A recommended visit.”

Overview
At the National Anzac Centre, visitors receive a card bearing a real serviceperson name and photo, then follow their journey through recruitment, training, convoys, and combat via audio devices that trigger detailed stories at each display. The heritage fortress grounds include boardwalks, restored buildings, and outdoor walking tracks with views over King George Sound. The full experience typically takes four hours. A car is required - no public transport or shuttle reaches the site.
