Explore more of Melbourne’s beautiful Domain Precinct on a Shrine of Remembrance tour followed by a ride on The Explorer bus through the magnificent Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.
Discover the fascinating history of the Shrine, built in honour of the brave men and women who served in the First World War, while also serving as a place of remembrance for all wars since. Hear the stories behind this iconic memorial, from its architectural marvels to its contemplative spaces and exhibits on those who served our nation.
You’ll then be guided to an open-air electric bus where you’ll enjoy live commentary as you travel through the beautiful inner-city oasis of Melbourne Gardens. Admire rolling lawns and the stunning living collections on your way.
