Overview

In 1914 over 41,000 service men and women left from Albany bound for World War I. For many this would be the last time they saw home. Today at this very location stands the state-of-the-art award winning National Anzac Centre which uses multimedia, interactive technology and historical artifacts to create a deeply personal connection with the past, as well as pay tribute to those who served.
Through traditional museum display and highly interactive multi-media content, visitors assume the identity of one of 32 actual service men or women, and follow their experience of the Great War: From recruitment, through training and embarkation, ship-board life on the convoys, the conflicts at Gallipoli, the Middle East, and the Western Front. Finally, for those lucky enough to survive, you will witness their return home and the difficulties they faced adjusting back into normal society.

Very moving tribute to those that served

5.00Both outside in the grounds walking around and inside in the monument fills you with a sense of emotional in that it is impossible to think what the young individuals thought they were about to face in World War One. The journey inside that you take as one of those individuals is very well thought through with the various installations and displays added to by the views out into the bay where the convoy ships gathered before setting off. Definitely an Albany highlight that must be seen
Very disappointed.

2.00Beautiful location but the so- called National ANZAC Centre only covers the two convoys that left from Albany WA for Gallipoli. While interesting, almost no mention of the many thousands of other people who sailed later, from other locations, and served and/or died on the Western Front. My great uncle who enlisted in NSW and gave his life on the Somme in 1916 didn't rate even his name on a list. Lest we forget.
Good Detail of ANZAC's out of Albany WA

5.00Fantastic information and well set up. It was quite busy but plenty of room to move around & view the exhibits. We were all given a card featuring a member of the forces. As we went around there were stations that gave us information on our person. It was fascinating but so sad & moving. It was very emotional. The lady in charge was so good, friendly & informative.
An excellent and moving experience.

5.00An excellent and moving experience in a beautiful and extremely sensitive setting. Very well informed and helpful staff were able to assist by answering many questions and provide insight into events that occurred over a century ago but still live in the memory of most Australians.
An afternoon of learning and reflection

5.00The interactive experience was amazing and so informative. Not only did you learn much more about the various conflicts across the world during the Great War you were also given an insight into the personal lives and experiences of the enlisted men and women through touch screen, film and audio. There are other experiences to be had within this 260 hectare parkland in Albany such as the Convoy line and lookout, walking trails and the Princess Royal Fortress.
Every Australian should go- amazing !

4.00Truly amazing place. So much information and inspirational. Was a little disappointed that we only got a couple of hours there which wasn’t visitors fault, it was the place. Could spend days there reading it all, seeing the photos. Lest We Forget
A perfect ANZAC tribute

5.00A deeply moving and beautifully curated experience. The National Anzac Centre offers a powerful insight into the lives of those who served during WWI, with interactive displays and personal stories that truly bring history to life. The use of individual soldier profiles makes the journey incredibly personal and emotional. The views from the centre over King George Sound — the last sight of home for many Anzacs — are breathtaking and add a real sense of place and reflection. The museum’s layout is thoughtful and modern, balancing education with commemoration. An essential visit for anyone travelling through Albany.
Great day.

5.00Visited on a weekend, safe to say, it is a great experience for anyone who is interested in ANZAC history or in commonwealth forces. The main centre was very informative with good views of the coast. The viewing area right at the top of the fortress is a must see, I was fortunate enough for it to be a clear day and you can see far and wide. Really would recommend.
Amazing History
