Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Point Walter Honour AvenuePrint Page 
The Avenue of Honour commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World Wars One and Two. Twenty five trees, mostly lemon scented gums with some sugar gums are planted along the avenue. At the base of each tree is a cast metal name plaque mounted on a concrete plinth. The original trees, which were planted in 1919 were replaced after roadworks in the 1980s.
Point Walter Honour Avenue was officially dedicated in memory of the soldiers who had fallen in World War One by the Premier of Western Australia, Mr J Mitchell on the fifteenth of November 1919. Twenty trees lined the avenue on the road leading into the reserve and each tree bore an inscribed metal tablet.
The West Australian (Perth), 17th November 1919.
