Close to home they are fairly simple
Montrose Victoria – nestled below the nearby Dandenongs (above)
Croydon Victoria – in the middle of a busy roundabout (below)
I have found elaborate ones on my travels
Numurkah Victoria – beside passing traffic (below)
Yarrawonga Victoria – in the town centre (above)
Mareeba Far North Queensland – on the main street (below)
And a very fine one in Napier New Zealand (below)
As well as a plain but solid one high above the bay at Twillingate Newfoundland (below)
Then there are the enormous ones
Calgary Alberta Canada (below)
Perth Western Australia (below)
There are different interpretations
like in Akaroa New Zealand (below)
And Cooktown Far North Queensland (below)
But all are built with the same purpose
Not to glorify but to honour and remember
Today is Anzac Day
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders “who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations” and “the contribution and suffering of all those who have served”. Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally devised to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who served in the Gallipoli Campaign, their first engagement in the First World War (1914–1918). source
