Name the Cranes Competition
As the centre for national commemoration, the Australian War Memorial is expanding its galleries as part of a major Development Project to tell contemporary stories of service and sacrifice.
We are asking local primary school-aged students to help us name the two tower cranes that will be used to build the Memorials new Anzac Hall and the C.E.W Bean Building and Research Centre.
