National Anzac Centre

Reviewed By ElvisPKing - Palmerston, Australia

Dignified and appropriate memorial to those who gave so much for the future of their country. Housed in a beautifully designed building in sympathy with its surroundings in Albany’s Mount Clarence Parklands this is a thoughtful and dynamic collection and tribute to the Anzacs who left these shores for WWI. Relating the stories of the Anzac troops from recruitment to convoy to the fields of Gallipoli and Flanders through narrative, interactive displays and a unique system of following a single soldier, this memorial takes you to what it was really like, from both sides of the conflict. A place to pause and reflect.

RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility

The Royal Flying Doctor Service Darwin Tourist Facility is an exciting attraction on Stokes Hill Wharf that brings to life two iconic Australian stories. Both iconic stories are retold using state of the art technology including Virtual Reality headsets, hologram movies, audio-visuals and touch screen TVs as well as the fascinating story boards. The first story is the Royal Flying Doctor Service, affectionately known as the RFDS. Founded in 1928 by Reverend John Flynn, it began its aero-medical operations in the Northern Territory in 1939. The second story is the Bombing of Darwin on 19th February 1942. The bombing raids by the Japanese, brought destruction to the city of Darwin and many of the events that happened that day are featured. The RFDS Tourist Facility is a must see in Darwin for visitors of all ages and families to have an interesting learning experience about Darwin's history.

This is a very interesting and exciting exhibition. The terracotta warriors exhibition was full of history and the artwork by Cai Guo-Qiang using gunpowder was exhilarating and exciting, very different and interesting artistic expression. Highly recommended.

Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)

The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is Australia's largest, oldest and most popular sporting venue. The MCG has hosted plenty of international cricket, including the first-ever Test and the 1992 World Cup final, countless VFL/AFL Grand Finals, the 1956 Olympic Games and 2006 Commonwealth Games. It also hosted the final of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Other sporting spectacles include FIFA World Cup soccer qualifiers, rugby league home and away matches and State of Origin and international rugby union clashes. Apart from its sporting events, the MCG has also witnessed many blockbuster music concerts, and even Pope John Paul II held a mass there when he visited Melbourne in 1986. The MCG has a total capacity of 100,024 people, comprising 95,024 seats and 5000 standing room spaces. The stadium also houses the National Sports Museum, which includes some of the most priceless pieces of memorabilia in Australian sporting history.

Reviewed By ozyoungster - Melbourne, Australia

If you even have a passing interest in sport and you have the chance to visit the MCG for a large AFL match or cricket encounter you should take the opportunity to tick something off the bucket list of experiences - the ground regularly has over 80,000 loud (but well-behaved) fans watching over the huge pitch (4x a normal rugby or soccer pitch) supported by two of the largest HD screens in the world. The atmosphere is incomparable - at times the noise in the stands has been measured at levels approaching a commercial airliner!!!! Visitor or Melbournian - you just have to go to believe it!!!
