Series One, Episode One:
The Australian War Memorial undertakes its largest redevelopment project to date. While preserving the AWM’s rich history, the construction teams and staff of the AWM outline the plans for the project, including having the new Parade Ground ready for ANZAC Day, 2024.
The redevelopments are integral for providing the public with a better understanding of past and contemporary conflicts, and the experiences of veterans.
The stories of Australia’s Peacekeeping mission in East Timor and veterans such as Sergeant Ian Ward, Emma Conway, and Adrian Humphries, are explored by the dedicated teams who represent their service via various exhibitions.
The operations of the AWM, including the Napier Waller Art Prize, continue whilst keeping the current buildings open to the public.
