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.

A very moving & humbling experience. We spent around 2 hours in there. Great views of King George Sound, a really worthwhile activity.
Highly recommend for all ages & abilities.
We planned this activity around a forecast of wet weather & it was a great way to spend easily 2 hours.
On entry you are given a card of someone that went to war & you follow their journey. Sadly not all make it back.
Recommend!

Very informative and interesting ANZAC Centre.
An inch and you are given a Card with a soldiers photo. Throughout the displays and exhibitions, use this card to find out about your soldier, and what happens to them throughout World War I, and if they survived into post for years. This makes the exhibition even more interesting because you have a personal connection. You also receive a free audio tour which allows you to take as long or as little time at each display.
Well worth a visit if you’re in Albany.
Just across the car park is Princess Royal fortress which is free and also has volunteers that do guided tours at 10:30. So if you go to the ANZAC make sure you go across and view princess royal fortress as well.

We spent a lovely few hours in the immersive experience of the museum section with an unusual way to experience the happenings of WW1, and how important Albany was to the Gallipoli campaign. There was a lot to take in, so if your definitely into historical information and interactive displays, be prepared to spend at least two hours in here.
One extra thing that we didn’t expect but was very thankful for was the restaurant in the same grounds! Very nice indeed.
