ANZAC Square is in the heart of Brisbane. It was constructed in memory of the men and women who served in the armed forces over seas.
The Shrine of Remembrance is at the top of the hill in the square. It was built in 1930.
Inside the Shrine is the Eternal Flame of Remembrance which burns continuously in a bronze urn.

Nice photos. I feel like I'm there, first on the outside and then on the inside of this monument.
ReplyDeleteI knew Australia was very involved in the Second World War but didn't know Australians fought in WWI also.
These photos are beautiful, I must visit the monument when I come to Brisbane. I only went ot Chinatown.

ReplyDeleteLovely shots of this stunning war memorial! In my little city, our cenotaph is not quite as monumental!
ReplyDeleteThose are neat pictures! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the monument to honour those who have served their country. I have relatives in Brisbane but didn't get to see much as we were there for a wedding.
