The Flame Room

This small area is accessed from the eastern side of the Hall of Memory. Dellit's original plan had this space as the Archives room, where might be placed 'suitably bound volumes of the official history of Australia's parting the Great War'. Lack of funds meant that it was not completed as such. In the 1990s the room was completed in its current function as the Flame Room.

The Australian Gas Association (AGL) donated and installed an Eternal Flame. A flame is widely accepted as a symbol of eternal life. An eternal flame at a war memorial symbolizes a nation's perpetual gratitude towards, and remembrance of, its war dead. The flame is now kept lit only during the Memorial's opening hours and is now known as the Flame of Remembrance

In addition to the flame, the room serves as a repository for the flags of Australia, New Zealand and the State of New South Wales.
