Warburton RSL Peace GardenPrint Page 
The Peace Garden commemorates the centenary of Armistice and those who served in World War One and those who have served in conflcits in which Australia has been involved. The peace Garden contains the Gallipoli Centenary Memorial,
Funding of $7150 was received in 2018 through the Armistice Centenary Grants Program for the construction of the garden.
Designed to commemorate the Centenary of the Armistice, it was the celebration of "Peace" that was the inspiration for the Warburton RSL Peace Garden project.
The symbolic Bird of Peace is depicted in the stainless steel panels. The 47 birds taking flight honour the 47 men from the Warburton area, who never returned from their service in WW1. The birds are amidst stylised trees as a symbol of the treed area these men called home.
The Memorial on the western boundary - The Olive Tree is to honour the service of our "Peacekeepers" who have followed in the footsteps of the ANZACS and served in so many areas of the World to make the world a better place for current and future generations.
The Riverwalk entrance to our "Peace Garden" is our "Path to Peace" and we hope everyone who comes to our garden finds Peace in a place to reflect, relax, remember and give thanks to all who have served and their families, who have all made personal sacrifices to enable us to live in peace.
We thank the Australian Government, the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank branches for their financial support to make this project possible. We thank all businesses and the community members who donated their time and money to make a vision become a reality.
