Like all memorials, the Melbourne War Memorial was built for Victorian soldiers who died in World War I. It has been more than 80 years. There was no war in Australia, but because it was a British dependency, Australian soldiers fought in World War II. If there is war, there will be sacrifice. The spirits of those who sprinkle foreign countries are now deeply sacrificed by the people in their hometown. The memorial is surrounded by an open garden. The memorial building is full of ancient Greek style. The front relief has the pattern of the goddess of peace in ancient Greek mythology. Walking into the hall, I saw a lot of black marble columns standing around the hall, which looked solemn. There was a monument in the middle of the hall. When I approached it, it was engraved with "LOVE" in English. Seeing this scene, I do not know why I think of many war memorials in Russia. When I think of these long sleeping martyrs who died in the world war to safeguard peace, I am full of respect in my silent browsing. On the platform outside the roof of the memorial hall, you can see the nearby Memorial tower, the burning altar of torch and the prosperous tall buildings in the distance.

    Meaningful and educational visit, free access to the galleries (including on the first and second World War, and Australia's role in peacekeeping) which have a wealth of collection of artefacts and explanatory videos.

    On the streets of Melbourne, a majestic building stands here, as if bringing ancient Greek shrines into the modern city. This is the Melbourne War Memorial, whose exterior is modeled on the Greek temple and solemnly tells the world a history. ​ A continent that has not experienced war, but its role in the First and Second World Wars cannot be ignored. He is not only a building, but also people's yearning for and nostalgia for peace. The worst peace is better than war, because peace is the one where we all sleep peacefully and hope.

    Just next to the Royal Botanic Garden in Melbourne, the Botanic Garden accidentally walked here. A memorial built on a small earth slope can be raised and looked far away. If you visit the Botanic Garden, you can take a look at it by the way. There is no need to run here.

    A very well made memorial to Australia's veterans and dead of various wars. Peaceful, and at 5pm they lower the flag to the tune of the Last Post. Interesting museum inside.

    The War Memorial Shrine of Remembrance, located west of the Royal Botanical Garden, was built in 1934 to commemorate Australian soldiers who lost their lives in World War I, and later expanded to commemorate Australian soldiers who lost their lives in previous wars. Every year, Anzac Day, Australia and New Zealand Legion Day, Melbourne itself holds a memorial service here. It's a very worthwhile place to visit. On the top balcony of the memorial, you can also see Melbourne Downtown on the North bank.
