I have just spent an afternoon at the amazing Spirit of ANZAC Centenary Experience currently on at the Adelaide Showgrounds until March 20. Although there was a bit of a wait and a bit of rigmarole before we got to go in (understandable when you think about the size of the exhibition, the technology involved and the huge numbers of people attending each session) but the exhibition itself was well worth the wait.
The display of World War One memorabilia, rifles, gas masks, the uniforms and water bottles full of bullet holes... To hear the stories of the soldiers, the nurses, to hear the history as well as see the visuals on the screens, the strange black and white footage of the people who were there and lived through it of sadly left and never came home...
And then to have the chance to speak with soldiers serving today, seeing some of the vehicles currently in use made in Australia by Australians for our Aussies overseas and at home to protect us all and our allies overseas... Makes me proud...
So make sure you see this amazing display while you have the chance.

Take the family, there is something there for everyone...
