THE Spirit of Anzac Centenary Experience, the largest free travelling exhibition in Australia since the Bicentennial, that is driven by more than 200 artefacts from the Australian War Memorial, will visit Sydney for the final stop on its national tour from April 15-27 April at the International Convention Centre at Darling Harbour.
The exhibition allows visitors to journey through the nation's footsteps into the First World War in new and engaging ways, and offers access to historical objects, such as the last shell fired by the Anzacs at Gallipoli, rarely seen outside the national capital.
The Sydney dates coincide with the Easter and Anzac Day public holidays, making the Experience a special way to commemorate Anzac Day and the service of so many.
"This is a free exhibition to mark the Anzac Centenary, 1914 to 1918. The response so far has been tremendous, so I urge visitors to book their timed visit through the website at www.spiritofanzac.gov.au quickly to avoid disappointment.Major General (retired) Brian Dawson from the Australian War Memorial announced the visit.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the people of, and visitors to the Sydney region to learn of the ways in which the sacrifice of our service men and women has shaped, and continues to shape, Australia as a nation."
More than 300,000 Australians have already been through the exhibition and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
