Avenue of Honour — Attraction in Yungaburra

My wife and I were at the opening of this avenue of honour for the Men ,working dogs, women whom went to Afghanistan. Beautiful day and the Parklike atmosphere is sombre and real. This is the first ave of honour in Australia and the Gov. General And prime minster ,along with the special forces and band.Will forever stay in my mind and all else whom attended a beautiful ceremony for those who gave their all, Collectively. All the Dead have names on one memorial And lots of interesting information. The walk itself is quite long and lined with flowering trees. And more good information . Will try and find some pics to go with this tome...

Just beautiful what the local community have been able to give. Each and every plarc, tree, stone, path direction and statue all have a significant place and story in relation to the men and women it serves in their memory who served in Afghanistan The community also have a special place for the fallen animals who were also in service with the men and women. I felt the place brought so much love, emotion and respect for each and every person in memory here. This is a place everyone should come to visit..while in the tablelands...just wonderful and thanky9u for...

Not my first time here, but was so impressed with the memorial in my last visit to Far North Queensland, just felt compelled to visit the suta again. A most impressive and fitting tribute memorial to the fallen soldiers and their canine companions in Afghanistan. If you have a wish to pay sincere respects you cannot fail to be moved with the beauty of The Avenue of Honour in its lakeside location. Well worth taking a detour to this...
