This facility contains the Australian War Memorial's larger collection of aircraft and military treasures related to Australian military involvement in nearly a century of conflicts. Guided tours are provided by staff to small groups. Their collection is amazing and very large, and every part of the collection deserves a page worth of information. Fascinating relics, like a landing boat from the Gallipolli Landing, or the gun off the famous German raider SMS Emden. Also, a huge collection of guns and mortars that were taken as trophies after WWI, and given to Australian towns after the war in apperception for their contributions to the war effort.
