It was very eye opening to the experiences that the Australian Army went through during the war.
Loved it!! You guys are so cool
The interactive experience took me by surprise (in a good way) it was shocking to really see the scale and intensity of the situations those brave soldiers were in. As just a viewer i found myself jumping at loud noises and lights but im only an observer - its unimaginable the pressures faced by the soldiers. The museum is amazing! Love from Australia - lest we forget❤️
Fantastic

It has left an indelible impression of the futility of war and the wasted loss of life which we thought would never happen again. I am left grieving for the folks whose sons didnˋt return home.

It was amazing: my first visit to this memorial 🇦🇺
This was an incredibly humbling experience. Beautifully curated.
Excellent and proud to be Australian
Very tastefully done.
Awesome experience very interactive for kids and adults.
Very good presentations but can be readily improved by clearer signage, for example the "immersive experience" is easily overlooked and does not state it is about Villers Bretonneux and le Hamel, the key component of the SJMC: I suspect many visitors would leave without experiencing it . a great shame😊
Very impressive Well worth the visit
Awesome - well done, a very good honouring and moving display
Fantastic
Moving

Magique. I could count every millimeters there is between here and the farthest part of Australia, say MERCI for each and every one of them, and that would still won't be enough. Merci for fighting back then. Merci for helping us bear in mind you were by our side. Merci for still siding with us.
