We made a day trip to Canberra to visit the Australian War Memorial. It's just a 3 hours leisure drive from Sydney.
This piece of art showed solders helped each other to survive through terrible conditions.
It was a worthwhile visit to the War Memorial. There were so many exhibits. If you are in Canberra, please don't miss this place.
A pleasant drive.

They have a collection of photos, films, documents, objects covering the stories of wars, regional battles and peace keeping missions in which Australian were involved. Very impressive!
