Mont Park Avenue of HonourPrint Page 
The Avenue of Honour was originally planted in 1919 and consists of a row of 46 Sugar Gums planted by returned soldiers who were hospitalized in 16 Australian General Hospital (Chronic Wards) at Mont Park. It commemorates soldiers who were killed in World War One.
Further plantings were made after World War Two. This avenue is unusual in that Australian native trees were used rather than the more common First World War plantings of elms and oaks.
A boulder with plaque was erected on 23rd April 1990 by Colonel B.P. O'Day to mark the presence of the Avenue. The boulder was moved to the corner of Cherry Street and Waiora Road, where a new marble tablet was also erected in memory of all Australians who died in the First World War.
