Some of the original trenches used by the troops can also be observed. While you may not be able to cover each and every one of them, no trip to Somme is complete without visiting atleast the key battlefields, trenches and memorials.<\/p>\n<h3>John Monash Centre<\/h3>\n<p>A trip to the John Monash Centre will tell you Australia&#8217;s story during the tragic war. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this centre is that visitors get to hear these war stories in the form of letters, images and diary entries.
