It was built in a classical style, and the World War II Forecourt was added in memory of the casualties of the war. It is the site of the annual ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day, days which commemorate the sacrifices made by the countrymen for the country.
The deep history of Australia's participation in various wars can be seen at the Galleries of Remembrance, where around 800 historical artefacts and artworks that have been beautifully preserved tell the story of the times gone by. Inside the Shrine, in the centre of the sanctuary, is a stone with "Greater Love Hath No Man" inscribed, called the Stone of Remembrance. During Remembrance Day on 11th November every year, a single ray of light hits the stone through the roof, highlighting the word 'LOVE". The Shrine has also been renovated over the years to accommodate a visitor's centre, the Remembrance Garden, and statues and pillars installed in memory of the brave men around the park area.
