ANZAC Peace Park

ANZAC Peace Park is a memorial park in Albany situated along Princess Royal Harbour at the base of York Street. The site features a commemorative wall, interpretive signage, paved pathways, and seating areas for visitors.

The park marks where 41,000 Australian and New Zealand soldiers departed for World War I in 1914. This departure profoundly shaped the campaigns at the Dardanelles and remains central to both nations' military histories.

The Lone Pine Grove features Aleppo Pines that connect this location to Gallipoli through trees identical to those at the original battlefield. Walking beneath them creates a tangible link between these two distant places.

The park is freely accessible with clearly marked pathways and illuminated routes for evening visits. Information panels positioned throughout guide visitors at their own pace without requiring structured tours.

The Pool of Reflection displays the 41,265 names of service members from the initial convoys. Families can discover the specific dates when individual names appear on the water's surface, creating a personal connection to the departed.
