Naval Memorial & Centenary GardenPrint Page 
The memorial was originally unveiled in 2005 and the Centenary Garden established in 2011 to commemorate the centenary of the granting of the Royal Warrant to the Royal Australian Navy on 10 July 1911. The three-metre-tall telegraph poles were carved and painted to represent the ten decades of 20th century Australian naval history. Artist Jamie McLean sculpted ten people dressed to represent different naval jobs. On the 7th December 2015, additional plaques and murals were unveiled. The murals were created by Dakabin High School students.

"They have no grave but the cruel sea
No flowers lay at their head
A rusting hulk is their tombstone
Afast on the ocean bed"
