ANZAC Centenary MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
The monument features a soldier with head bowed. A semi-circular concrete retaining wall, inscribed with names of all battles in which Australians have served, is built into the side of a small hill in the park, across the road from Redlands RSL and the Cleveland cenotaph.
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.
