A sometimes-overlooked item of Melbourne is the charismatic war memorial.
The Shrine of Remembrance is one of the largest war memorials in Australia. Constructed between 1927 and 1934, The Shrine of Remembrance was constructed to honor the men and women of Vitoria, Australia who fought in World War One. However, now it is looked at as a memorial to every one of the some 60,000 Australian men and women who died in World War One.
The Shrine of Remembrance has been a work in progress too, as other areas have been added to the grounds such as a forecourt and a memorial garden.
We say it is amazing to walk around the war memorial. You have a beautiful view of the CBD as you stroll around this peaceful park and remembrance setting.
