Fromelles-Ypres Day Tour

Runs twice a week, every Tuesday & Friday.

Follow the Australian footsteps on the Fromelles and Ypres battlefields..

Have your evening meal near the magnificent Cloth Hall in a restaurant located in the Grote Markt, the heart of the charming old town of Ypres, Belgium. This Day Tour takes you north of Arras to explore the village and battlefields of Fromelles, where Australians are forever remembered.

We cross the border into Belgium and climb up onto the ridge of the Ypres Salient where we will spend the remainder of our day. Attendance at the emotive Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate is an absolute must. A long day out on the battlefields where a good night’s rest is a given.
