H.M.A.S. Australia II Print Page 
The trees were planted in tribute to H.M.A.S. Australia II and those who served on her.
H.M.A.S. Australia II operated in support of United States naval and amphibious operations throughout South-East Asia until the start of 1945, including involvement in the battles at the Coral Sea and Savo Island, the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Leyte Gulf, and numerous actions during the New Guinea campaign.
During the late 1940s, H.M.A.S. Australia II served with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan, and participated in several port visits to other nations, before being retasked as a training ship in 1950. The cruiser was decommissioned in 1954, and sold for scrapping in 1955.
