Description

The Emu Gully Air and Land Spectacular is the largest and most accurate re-enactment of ANZAC history in Australia.

The re-creation of Anzac military battles features action both on the land and in the skies overhead. The re-enactments take our Anzac stories, from WW1, WW2, Vietnam and more, out of the history books, bringing them to life on a spectacular scale.

While ground troops fight from trenches and tanks, war birds drop special effects explosions overhead. The authentic battle scenes feature Australia's largest collection of operating military vehicles rumbling to life again! Featuring joy rides on military vehicles, ""Animals that Went to War"" nursery, ""boogie-woogie"" WW2 style tunes and more.

The event is not about glorifying war, but about educating younger generations about Australia's military history. It aims to communicate and inspire, now and into the future, the spirit of the ANZAC values of sacrifice, mateship, courage and perseverance.
