Back to NewsroomHappy holidays from the Sir John Monash Centre team

December is here, and like each year, the end-of-year festivities are an opportunity for the Centre and its staff to take a well-earned break.
The Sir John Monash Centre will be closed from Wednesday 24 December 2024 to Friday 2 January 2026 inclusive. The Villers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery and the Australian National Memorial remain open to the public every day, though access to the Memorial tower will be restricted.
Thank you for your continued support over the year. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you in 2026!
During the closure, you can access our online resources:
- Read articles from this year and previous years, including the highlights of 2025.

- Find out about the sites of the Australian Remembrance Trail with our interactive map and prepare your journey with our Traveller’s Guide.
