ALBANY HERITAGE PARK | NATIONAL ANZAC CENTRE @ ALBANY, PERTH
Glorious morning guys!
Such a nice weather would be put to waste should we not make
the best use of it right? Hehe….
Just before we resume our trip to Denmark after two nights’ of lovely stay in Albany, we
made a quick pitstop at ANZAC centre after bidding farewell to our friendly
host- Mr.Murray at Spencer Park
after the wholesome breakfast.
We just went around the lush park in a jiffy without visiting
the centre itself as we do not want to keep our European amigo waiting too long
at his winery in Denmark.

As we browsing by, we found that the unique anisometric
architecture was indeed beautifully located surrounded by vast oceanic view of
deep blue sea and azure vista to complement it!
Brief Info On ANZAC Centre
Opened on the
1st of November 2014 by the Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand, The
National Anzac Centre is an award-winning facility that uses multimedia,
interactive technology and historical artifacts to create a deeply personal
connection with the past, as well as pay tribute to those who served. The interpretive
content that forms part of the interactive experience was developed by the
Western Australian Museum and the Australian War Memorial and is delivered via
a series of interactive visual and audible displays. The experience delivered
at the NAC is known for commemorating the war through the stories of the Anzacs
as opposed to telling its own story via pro-war or anti-war sentiments.
The symbolic
location of the centre, selected for its strong sense of place as it looks out
across King George Sound, forms an important part of the interpretation. The dramatic
architecture, featuring spectacular vistas of the Sound, purposefully enhances
the narrative and creates a contemplative space. The building design lends
itself to a telescopic view overlooking the location from where the convoys
gathered and then left.
Operated by the
City of Albany, the National Anzac Centre runs in conjunction with the heritage
listed Princess Royal Fortress (PRF) and is open every day of the year expect
Christmas Day between the hours of 9am and 5pm with the last entry at 4pm.
The $10.6
million construction and fit-out of the centre was fully funded by the Federal
and Western Australian Governments however it receives no ongoing funding. All
revenue from entry fees provides for the upkeep and operation of the centre,
and other adjacent attractions within the Albany Heritage Park.
There was also a cool and glassy Garrison Restaurant which I
initially wish to try out- if only I have more time to spend here. Well, guess
would have to put off the plan for now first............
Naval Discovery Trail
Housing discoveries of Ikara Missile, Tartar Missile, HMAS
Perth II Anchor Winch and Bofors Gun.
With easy breeze came brushing by occasionally with meadow grass,
this place easily makes one of the best relaxing spot for family recreational
activities and bonding time.
Up next, let’s hover over to ANZAC Peace Park!
Cheers for now and follow us at Carpe Diem for more ‘food-ful’
discoveries! ❤ℒℴѵℯ❤
And our travel journey continues....................
