It was an emotional visit to the memorial today, being from Australia.
It was amazing to see the design and it really felt Aussie, slightly unusual but striking. Very symbolic of the events of Gallipoli I thought.
Also lovely to see all of the Australian town names carved into the granite.
So well worth a visit when in London for any Aussie!

The Australian War Memorial on London is a stunning tribute to Aussies so far from home. The memorial was beautifully laid out with so much attention to detail. To find out that the stone was actually imported from Perth, WA makes it even more special.

Before our commute, we sat here for an hour at 7am and it was so peaceful.
