Battlefield Tours

There were numerous battlefields in WWI and WWII where our brave, young ANZACs fought gallantly for our freedom. You can retrace the steps of these courageous men on a variety of battlefield tours operated by one of Australia’s leading battlefield historians, Mat McLachlan.

Mat McLachlan is one of Australia’s leading battlefield historians, he is the author of several books about Australia at war and has appeared regularly on TV and radio. Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours is part of a family business that has operated in the Australian travel industry for more than 30 years and has since grown to become Australia’s leading specialist battlefield tour operator.
