Muttaburra Cenotaph

Our cenotaph was built to honour all those residents of Muttaburra and District who have served Australia in conflict and peacekeeping.  It is dedicated to those who paid the supreme sacrifice.

We remember them.

Unveiling and dedication of the cenotaph on 25th April, 2015 was performed by Mayor, Cr. Rob Chandler and Mrs. Pearl Langdon as part of the 100 year commemoration of World War I.

The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, sacrifice and honour continue to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity.

This project was made possible by the support of the Australian Federal Government and Barcaldine Regional Council, along with kind donations from Donald Crombie, son of D. C. C. Crombie, of Greenhills and Daniel Hart, 1st cousin of D. C. C. Crombie of Greenhills. 

"He gave his life for his friend."  
Inscription on Private J. W. Middleton 683 headstone at Embarkation Pier Cemetery Gallipoli.

Paving The Glory
Commemorating the Centenary of ANZAC

The Paving the Glory project was completed in 2014 / 15 by the students of six schools in the Barcaldine Regional Council area to commemorate the Centenary of ANZAC. 

The sentences etched into these pavers 
are our children`s thoughts about what 
the ANZAC legend means to them.

The project is proudly supported by the Barcaldine Regional Council and the Queensland Government.
