Such an amazing museum. I did not expect to love it as much as I did. It mixes the personal stories of those who were in combat with the memorial for 100,000 who died for Australia . Each day a soldi… Full review by michael r

9th day of our 20-day trip and we had booked the 2-4pm time slot so that we could then move on to the Last Post ceremony. After a very ordinary lunch at Poppy's cafe, we headed over to the main build… Full review by gwegwy
The ticket allocated by the AWM allows a 3 hour visit - are you able to stay on longer than this? It appears 3 hours is not long enough at this impressive monument.

Good question, unfortunately I was unable to answer this. When I visited, I also wanted to explore more of the WW2 section which I will on my next visit to Canberra.

Hi John, Start on the M1 until you are able to join the M2 for a short time, then join the M7 until you are able to connect with the M31 (Hume Hwy). Mostly all toll roads but you will save much angst/time and many, many traffic lights. Drive time if you stick with the speed limits will be approximately 3hours 30 - 40 minutes / often many police and speed cameras. All roads are good and virtually traffic light free. make sure you book a two-hour visit at the War Memorial; it is also my understanding you are able to book additional two hour lots online. A straight out two hours is not nearly enough to see everything on offer...good luck and enjoy!
