Everyone should attend and book the last post ceremony which is moving and incomparable to other visits. Plan on spending at least 2 hours at museum. Full review by travelsleuth1961

This is a truly spiritual place. Currently under refurbishment which does detract somewhat but as one often the staff said, the noise you hear is nothing compared to what the soldiers experienced. Full review by 339brianr

Absolutely amazing.we did the tour and then watched “ The Last Post” ceremony. Every Australian should see this War Memorial. Incredible paintings and artefacts. I could not have been more impressed. Full review by Dreamer41914399640
The ticket allocated by the AWM allows a 3 hour visit - are you able to stay on longer than this? It appears 3 hours is not long enough at this impressive monument.

I was there a few months ago and spent almost five hours there. I just got a standard ticket (as far as I'm aware) when I walked up to the ticket window. I know that they had specific times for people to enter but I didn't see anyone walking around checking people's tickets or asking people to leave. Hope that helps a bit.
I am supporting an NDIS Disability Client from Adelaide who requires either a wheelchair or mobility scooter (Sept 2023) ... are there any available for hire? and what is the cost please?

Hi John, Start on the M1 until you are able to join the M2 for a short time, then join the M7 until you are able to connect with the M31 (Hume Hwy). Mostly all toll roads but you will save much angst/time and many, many traffic lights. Drive time if you stick with the speed limits will be approximately 3hours 30 - 40 minutes / often many police and speed cameras. All roads are good and virtually traffic light free. make sure you book a two-hour visit at the War Memorial; it is also my understanding you are able to book additional two hour lots online. A straight out two hours is not nearly enough to see everything on offer...good luck and enjoy!
