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.

The National Anzac Centre is a must do when visiting Albany. The interactive nature of the museum allows you to immerse yourself in the history of the Anzac’s. The location provides a unique outlook over the Harbour with spectacular views. Allow an hour minimum for this experience.

I’d heard good things but was a bit underwhelmed . It concentrates on a digital experience which is not my thing . Having visited the sites covered in Gallipoli and France I felt it didn’t really help understand the experience

Since the inception of the National Anzac Centre, it's a must visit whenever we are in Albany. There's not much that I can add to the tributes that have already been written. On this visit I assumed the identity of Captain Alfred Shout, born in New Zealand in 1881, served in the Boer War and settled in Australin with wife and family in 1905, working as a carpenter/joiner. When war was declared he joined the AIF and was a foundation officer of the 1st Battalion, landing on Gallipoli 25th April 1915, he was awarded the Military Cross and other honours during ensuing weeks. Awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at the Battle of Lone Pine, seriously wounded on 9th August, died on a hospital ship on the 11th and was buried at sea. His was one of seven Victoria Crosses awarded at Lone Pine, all are now displayed in the Hall of Valour at the Australian War Memorial. The Pool of Reflection is a thought-provoking and poignant reminder that 41,265 Australians and New Zealanders left for war on the First and Second convoys, their names are recorded here on a continuous loop.

Can't rate thus highly enough. Bloody brilliant. Friendly, helpful staff. And beautiful centre and exhibits. I love how you get to follow in the footsteps of a Trooper from the war and here about their individual story as well as much more. I will definitely be returning.

What an absolutely brilliant place to visit! A wonderful tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for Australia in WW1. We put aside an hour to visit - spent 3 hours in the centre and surrounds - could have spent all day. Following the journey of one soldier was an unique approach to engage visitors. This is a MUST visit for all Australians. Learn your history - Lest We Forget! A huge thankyou to all the volunteers for helping to keep it going.

This is a very poignant and enlightening tribute to the ANZACS and what they experienced. The use of technology and the stories presented are well paired together. I’ve been three times now and am still finding new information. Definitely worth visiting when in Albany
