We were about to leave and then noticed that it is run by the National Trust, and as members of the Victorian NT we have reciprocal rights - so we got in for free! The guide was excellent, the displays of information and bits and pieces they've found on the battlefield very well displayed and the film of a reenactment of the battle scary because you stand in a small room and it's played on the four walls around you - you're in the middle of the battle! The field itself is a bog really and in April would have been wet and cold. One wall of the centre has an outstanding brick for each life lost that day.
