The pine tree commemorates 100 years of service and sacrifice by Australian men and women and marks the launch of the Tasmanian Centenary of ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) commemorations 2014 -2018. 

The Centenary of ANZAC 2014 to 2018 was an important period of national commemoration for Australia. Marking 100 years since our involvement in World War One, the ANZAC Centenary was a time to honour the service and sacrifice of our original ANZACs, and the generations of Australian servicemen and women who have defended our values and freedoms, in wars, conflicts and peace operations throughout a Century of Service.
