War Memorial
Australia

The life-sized digger standing with head bowed and arms reversed is on top of a many stepped base, surrounded by a pipe and chain fence. It is situated in a small, treed park dividing the highways from the main shopping centre.
Names listed: 24 Died, 90 Returned.

Unusually, the marble dedication plaque is on the back, with those who were killed in the First World War on the opposite side. The memorial also includes those who served in the Second World War, Korea, Malaysia, Borneo & Vietnam.

It is an adaption of one erected in the park at East Brisbane and stands 19ft. high. The pedestal is of stone 9ft.6in in height by 3ft. 6in. by 3ft. 6in., set in a concrete foundation, having three tier of steps. The statue represents an Australian soldier standing with arms reversed and is chiselled in stone. The design is a bold one and appropriate in every particular. The cost exceeds £250 and is a splendid tribute to the patriotism of the district.
