All right, time to actually go to the Shrine. Visiting the Shrine was the main purpose of our trip today, anyway, as my uncle David had an exhibition there for ANZAC day.

Here is the Shrine.

Flowers and notes from ANZAC day, earlier that week.

A monument.

The eternal flame and I. It's been burning ever since the Queen herself lit it in 1954.

Once inside the Shrine Welcome Center, we immediately saw David's display. I don't think you were supposed to take pictures, but I did anyway. But I took quick and not particularly good ones. Still, it gives you an idea.

We then walked through the Shrine, where, again, I don't think you were supposed to take pictures. This time I was good and did not. But I did take pictures when we got outside to the very top. The view was spectacular. I took many pictures, none of which do it justice. You can see all the way out to the ocean in the first one. Just lovely.

And so was the Shrine.

Since this entry was less picture-heavy than my last, here is a random picture that doesn't fit anywhere else. Sometime during the following week, while at uni, I passed the juggling club. They were cool, so I took a picture.
