Discover the key sites where Australian soldiers served on the Western Front, visiting significant battlefields, memorials and landscapes that continue to honour their courage and sacrifice.
Overview
This journey through the Somme and surrounding battlefields offers a respectful and deeply moving exploration of the places where Australian soldiers fought, fell, and forged enduring bonds of courage and sacrifice during the First World War. Across these landscapes—quiet villages, rolling fields, and carefully preserved memorial sites—you will stand where history unfolded and where the stories of thousands of Australians continue to be honoured.
Over two days, you will visit key locations that shaped the experiences of the AIF on the Western Front, from newly uncovered burial grounds and evocative memorials to preserved trenches and significant battle sites. With each stop, you will gain a deeper understanding not only of the events themselves, but also of the resilience, bravery, and humanity of those who served.
