Stand at Australia's most poignant WWII memorial, perched on a clifftop above the Indian Ocean, guided by expert volunteers who bring the 1941 tragedy viscerally to life. An emotional and unforgettable piece of living history.
What to expect
The memorial complex commands sweeping clifftop views over the Indian Ocean — a setting of genuine grandeur. A volunteer guide walks you through the Pool of Remembrance, the Dome of Souls with its 645 seagull sculptures and the bronze Waiting Woman, pausing to tell personal stories of the crew. The 10:30 am guided session fits neatly into a morning ashore. Combine with Point Moore Lighthouse just below for a full clifftop circuit.
Good to know
Guides depart promptly at 10:30 am; arrive by 10:15 am. A taxi or rideshare from the pier takes roughly 10 minutes. No booking required for the guided tour — just turn up. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water; the clifftop can be windy and warm.
