The Bomaderry War Memorial commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.   Additional plaques have been added to the monument precinct to commemorate separate confrontations and various organisations.  The monument is flanked on either side by walls of remembrance.

Monument characteristics :

Three rough hewn silver grey granite blocks to symbolize the mountain campaigns undertaken by the Army and Air Force and the mountainous seas encountered by the Navy.  The sandstone forecourt symbolizes conflicts in the desert and the evergreen plants symbolize jungle campaigns.
