The Spirit of Anzac Centenary Experience is Australia’s flagship community event of the Anzac centenary. Toured at 23 locations around Australia from September 2015 to April 2017, the Experience brings to life an infant Australia still finding its feet on the eve of war. It follows in the footsteps of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and nurses throughout the campaign, including a commemoration of Australia’s century of service.
