Perched on Mount Clarence overlooking King George Sound — the very anchorage where the ANZAC convoy assembled in 1914 — this world-class memorial assigns you a personal soldier's story and guides you through the full arc of Gallipoli with breathtaking views as your backdrop.
What to expect
The architecturally striking centre sits where Australian and New Zealand troops last saw their homeland before sailing for Gallipoli. Upon entry, you receive a card identifying a real ANZAC soldier or nurse whose journey you follow through the exhibition. Soaring glass walls frame the Sound below — the same view 41,000 troops saw on 1 November 1914. The centrepiece is an immersive 360° audiovisual experience recreating the convoy's departure. Plan to spend 90 minutes minimum; many visitors find themselves staying far longer.
Good to know
Mount Clarence is a 10-minute drive from the port; taxis are readily available. The centre opens at 9 am daily. A café on site serves excellent coffee. Purchase tickets online to guarantee entry on busy ship days.
