Step back in time and explore the captivating story of HMAS Australia, the pride of the Australian Navy during World War I. This video takes you on a historical voyage through the life and adventures of this remarkable warship. Built as part of the Indefatigable class, HMAS Australia embodied Admiral Jackie Fisher's vision of a heavily armed, fast, and lightly armored battlecruiser.
