A special piece of Second World War history is on display this week outside the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park – an original anti-aircraft searchlight used on the home front during the war.
Minister for Veterans David Harris MP was joined by Brad Manera, Anzac Memorial Senior Historian & Curator, (both pictured) to inspect the searchlight this morning.
The MK VI searchlight was one of many that played a vital role in Australia’s air defence during the Second World War, when conflict came to the nation’s doorstep.
The searchlight is on display in the Memorial’s northern forecourt as part of the week’s activities to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the war in the Pacific on Friday 15 August. It will once again project its beam across the sky for a special twilight commemorative service on Friday evening, and be lit again on Saturday evening.
You can also come hear our historians Brad Manera and Dr Catie Gilchrist unpack stories of air raid shelters, searchlights and celebrations at a special lecture on Friday afternoon. Full details of activities below.
