Shrine of Remembrance

Above is the Shrine of Remembrance, a spectacular monument designed to honor the men and women from Victoria State who have served in the armed forces throughout Australia’s history. One fascinating feature is a hole in the roof of the Shrine of Remembrance that allows sunlight to shine on the “stone of remembrance”, located on the floor in the center of the shrine at exactly 11 am on November 11th each year. That date and time is significant in world history because it marks the end of World War One.
