Just before the close of the Australian War Memorial each and every day is the Last Post Ceremony, which is probably best described as a shorter ANZAC commemorative service, in which the Memorial tells the story of one of the (too many) thousands of Australians whose names appear on the Wall of Remembrance, signifying their ultimate sacrifice for our country.
In winter, the very moving ceremony happens just on sunset, when flocks of cockatoos come in to roost and chirp – a very distinctively Australian sound – and being the weekend before ANZAC Day, it took on even more significance.
A highly-recommended experience.
