This is a wonderful memorial in a restful lakeside location, where Australians can pause, reflect and say a silent "thank-you" to the brave servicemen and women who help to make this world a much better place.Lest We Forget.The memorial is a credit to all those involved from it's inception to the final result we see there today. Very moving.Pleased to also see recognition for the involvement of dogs in combat and peace missions. The words on the plaque for the dogs are brilliant.
This is a credit to the community with a well designed and executed memorial walk and roll of honour. Being pet lovers the role of the dogs in Afghanistan supporting our soldiers was wonderful.
Yungaburra is not the place that usually springs to mind when Memorials to Australia's fallen soldiers are discussed, but it will be in the near future. This newly opened Memorial to those killed in Afghanistan is achingly beautiful, inspired by the death of local boy Pte. Benjamin Chuck. The local community, working with a Cairns designer, have created one of Australia's outstanding monuments; unpretentious, respectful and moving.
It is amazing place, simple but very moving, must see. And to think that it is build and supported by community without government financial support
The Afghanistan Avenue of Honour has been designed to offer recognition and pay tribute to those souls who paid the ultimate price in the theatre of war.Very tastefully designed and built it recognises those who have fallen. Included is a touching acknowledgement for the K-9 members of the Australian Army who failed to return.When the Avenue trees have developed further and when they are in full bloom it will become the fitting tribute that it was designed to be.
A perfect tribute to our brave forces guys. Beautiful setting and a place for reflection. Don't miss out this great opportunity to visit a lovely memorial
The young flame trees that flank the Avenue of Honour will develop over time to enhance this already dignified and moving memorial. The persons responsible for the memorial deserve a vote of thanks from all of us. I am glad we made the time to visit this spot on the edge of the lake.
A beautiful monument erected in the memory of those young men who have given the ultimate sacrifice to their Country. Set on the side of Lake Tinarroo a perfect setting for an important place to remember those who have fallen.
Came to visit and impressed at how good tidy it was. Great memorial for the soldiers killed in the conflict. Sad to see that our Australians boys died.
Wonderful memorial to the soldiers who died in Afghanistan and a fitting place to erect this memorial so close to the water on Lake Tinaroo making it feel very restful.
