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.

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

This was a moving experience for me as my Grandfather departed here in the 2nd convoy aboard the Ulysses The whole museum complex is equal to the best I have visited all around the world

Both 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

Beautiful 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.

Big beautiful building of history looking out over the scene of King George Sound Albany WA, were it's recorded in detail of the type of people from various area's of Australia came together to leave on many ships out of mainly Albany to help fight in the 1st WWI effort being called the ANZAC's, my Grandfather was an engineer in WWI, my father was in MN & later joined American small ships WWII & I was in Amy Reserves in 80's, so have a connection with these events of History!

Fantastic 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 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.
