Where: BAE Systems Theatre,
Australian War Memorial
Treloar Crescent Campbell ACT

When: 2pm, Saturday 25 July

Interesting how the War Memorial always gives its address as “Treloar Crescent” when you’d naturally think they’d give it as 1 Anzac Parade. Reminds me of the original location of the ACT Legislative Assembly when they always used to give the address as “1 Constitution Ave” when in fact they were more accurately located in Nangari St.
