Australian War Memorial is amazing, the whole complex is set out by conflict such as WW1, WW2 etc. The sound and light show is not to be missed with an Apache helicopter, the noise, and the dialogue …Full review by Bob S

The ticket allocated by the AWM allows a 3 hour visit - are you able to stay on longer than this? It appears 3 hours is not long enough at this impressive monument.
A:
We were there longer and didn't have any issues. I suspect that would depend on how busy the day is.

Hi John, Start on the M1 until you are able to join the M2 for a short time, then join the M7 until you are able to connect with the M31 (Hume Hwy). Mostly all toll roads but you will save much angst/time and many, many traffic lights. Drive time if you stick with the speed limits will be approximately 3hours 30 - 40 minutes / often many police and speed cameras. All roads are good and virtually traffic light free. make sure you book a two-hour visit at the War Memorial; it is also my understanding you are able to book additional two hour lots online. A straight out two hours is not nearly enough to see everything on offer...good luck and enjoy!
