One thing that stood out to me most was not something overly patriotic nor specific to Australian Culture. Non the less I think it is a great representation. It was the Medals of a returned soldier, found in the small section there that has to do with the Forces. Even though service medals are not something only Australia has, they are a gentle reminder of how hard many Australian persons had to work to gain this freedom that we are now free to abuse. although we are not fighting wars for our freedom anymore, i think its still relevant to our culture; Hard working, honest people trying to do what they can to provide a chance for an australian dream (freedom) for our Families.
The Federation Album; was the next on my list of thing i thought important to our Culture. A collection of photographs illustrations and some documents of events, pre and post Australias Federation; depicting things like the first australian to be awarded his pilots license and pictures of our draft constitution in a chronological order.
