Myrniong Avenue of HonourPrint Page

Myrniong Avenue of Honour was originally planted to commemorate those who served in World War One. The Avenue also contains trees planted to commemorate those who served in World War Two. 

Japanese flowering cherries, WW1 and WW2 sections, also single 1918 monument to dead (now of all wars) and conflicts), local heritage item. A total of 50 Scarlet Oak trees were planted in June 2001 to replace the Avenue of Honour on the western approach to Myrniong. In 2004, investigations revealed that 12 of the trees had died with the balance of 38 displaying varying degrees of health ranging from poor to very poor. It was the opinion of officers that the trees would not make suitable Avenue specimens even with formative pruning and ongoing maintenance and that they should be removed and replaced.
