Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial is very moving. One cannot help but reflect on the futility of war, and in this instance , on this War which proved to be so fruitless, hopeless and deadly....
I was surprised by the warts & all portrayal of war at this artistic and sculptural tribute to the soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War. It was a very moving experience to be there on ANZAC Day.
As part of the Anzac Parade Memorials, this one is really striking. It really brought that war into perspective and we spent quite a while reading and reflecting. This is worth spending time at.
If you walk anzac parade you will see this and other memorials. If short of time you should at least visit the Vietnam memorial. It is a recent war which Australia went to with the best intentions ...
This monument records this period of history and is especially worth taking photos.
The Australian Vietnam War Memorial is located on the famous Anzac Avenue, also known as ANZAC Parade, which connects the shore of Lake Bury Griffin to the Australian War Memorial. The monument itself is not very impressive.
The Vietnam War once left a lot of scars in the world. I flew as a memorial, and I also dealt with it firmly, remembering those sad years.
