Commemorative WalkPrint Page 
The walk commemorates those who have served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved since World War Two. The walk consists of a set of memorial stones with plaques leading to the cenotaph.
Memorial stones honouring Australian service personnel were unveiled at the Pakenham cenotaph on the weekend. The Pakenham RSL plans to erect seven stones beside the cenotaph over two stages in recognition of those who have served or fought overseas since World War II. The first three stones represent the Korea, Malaya and Indonesia (Far East Strategic Reserve), and Vietnam wars, while the remainder are expected to be installed by late next year to honour those who served in peace keeping efforts in Somalia, East Timor and Iran, and in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
The line of stones will serve as a commemorative walk for service personnel, their families and the general public to pay their respects. Military historian Marcus Fielding and Federal Member for McMillan Russell Broadbent were guest speakers at the unveiling ceremony on Sunday 28 August, with speeches from Australian war veterans from each of the three conflicts. Lunch and refreshments were served following the ceremony at the Pakenham RSL Hall, corner James Street and Snodgrass Street, Pakenham.
