Avenues of Honour |
|
|
Please visit the hyperlink below for information and a video etc about the Avenues of Honour project happening in Australia: The project aims to commemorate every individual who has fallen in the service of Australia with a tree. It is an initiative of Treenet, the not-for-profit national urban tree research and education organisation based at the Waite Arboretum, University of Adelaide. The related map has an indication of some of the site locations. It would be great if we can check streets in our own LGA and send it through for inclusion. |
