Description

The Woocoo Shire memorial, is located in a typical Australian setting surrounded by tall native trees with the dark green foliage along the banks of Sandy creek as a background, and standing out in relief upon a sloping hill. This base of the memorial, several feet in height, is of freestone, and is surmounted by another column with marble facings bearing appropriate inscriptions. The figure of an Australian soldier standing with reversed arms, with head bowed, is expressive of tender sentiment. Apart from this latter aspect, the memorial is from an aesthetic standpoint an excellent piece of workmanship.
