The trees were originally planted on the 2nd July 1936, with an additional tree for Mr. James Ridley who was the principal of the school at the time those honoured were students.

The avenue was replanted in April 2015 on the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli.

Avenue of Memory
The Avenue of Memory, the brainchild of
Principal Frank Gallagher and his wife Georgette,
was planted along Isabella Street in 1936
by students of Queanbeyan Public School, to
commemorate former students that fought and died as
a result of WWI. An additional tree was planted for
Mr. James Ridley, long serving Principal during the
time these young men were students.
The Avenue of Memory was replanted in April 2015
on the Centenary of the landing at Gallipoli,
and acknowledges those original 28 former students,
Principal Ridley and Mr and Mrs Gallagher
