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.

Truly 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

I developed a new understanding of the importance of King George’s Sound in the assembly and departure of the convoys. In addition to the individual stories representing all sides of the conflict, the contemporary, early moving images with commentary of men at war were fascinating. They gave stark insights into the realities of warfare and the extra-ordinary courage of men at war.
