White concrete tower with brass plates

The Goomeri War Memorial Clock is situated on a traffic island at the intersection of the Burnett and Wide Bay Highways. It was unveiled on 15 November 1940 by RSL State President R. D. Huish. It was erected at a cost of £700, raised by the Goomeri Returned Services League Sub-Branch. A metal door bearing a bronze Australian Coat of Arms surrounded by a laurel wreath is recessed into the north face. The dates 1914 and 1919 are located above and below the wreath, also in bronze.
Polished granite plaques are located on each of the other faces, with names of those who made the supreme sacrifice. The clock itself is located at the top of the tower and comprises four faces which are illuminated at night. The letters Lest we forget (reading clockwise) replace the numerals on each clock face. Goomeri's Anzac Day Service and Wreath Laying is held at the Memorial Clock.
