What a brilliant surprise this place is!
This museum covers the Australian Army's Western Australian history, from colonial times through to the latest peacekeeping duties.
In my opinion it has the second best Victoria Cross display in Australia, only pipped at the post by the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
The staff, both volunteers and Army, were extremely helpful and welcoming, making the whole visit so much better.
Depending on your level of interest in the history, this can take anything from 1 to 4 hours to take in all the presentations and the information.
This visit was a real treat. My wife and I spent five hours touring the facility. The information panels are well written and easy to read, without being too technical. The volunteers roaming the museum were very friendly and knowledgeable. A great day.
This museum is well laid out that if you follow the recommended path, you will follow the complete military history of Western Australia from the early colonies through the world wars, Vietnam and the peacekeeping and counter terror conflicts of more recent times. The items they have on display here are in excellent condition and the team of staff and volunteers are an absolute pleasure to talk to about both the items on display and what they represent. You can tell they put a lot of work into what they do, and they have every right to be proud to represent the history of Australia's Army
Very comprehensive, engaging & attentive staff.
The armoured component of the exhibits was fantastic to see. Great that they can preserve that piece of history.
Terrific old building housing some magnificent displays telling the story and event of our Military conflicts around the Globe. A great place to learn and understand that WAR is a last resort and those we send to fight it suffer a terrible price for our freedoms.
