We booked for the 10am time slot, quick check of our bags & we were on our way. We were lucky to score a spot with Dave on a free 80 minute tour. He was fantastic we both would rate him a 10 out of 1… Full review by Pumpkin20

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.

I was there a few months ago and spent almost five hours there. I just got a standard ticket (as far as I'm aware) when I walked up to the ticket window. I know that they had specific times for people to enter but I didn't see anyone walking around checking people's tickets or asking people to leave. Hope that helps a bit.

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!
