The destroyer (HMAS Vampire) is also a good tour and the sailing ship "James Craig" is a beautiful site as well. Another ship well worth looking at is MV Krait

I missed out on going on the Oberon many years back when my school class went on a trip due to a rather ridiculous situation (too long to explain) regardless, I was very unhappy.
I'm trying to see if I can go this year.... but no one to go with, I like to go with someone XD My family isn't quite interested in this kinda thing, nor are all my IRL friends I'll get something worked out

Though I've been to the World War museum in Canberra, it's small but interesting. Lots of displays to look at iirc (it's been 6+ years since I last visited). Perhaps worth a visit if you're visiting Canberra.
