The War Memorial commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.

The monument is a paved floor with central altar of polished granite featuring the cross of St George. Two granite sentinals each end show an old digger disappearing, and the other a young Afghanistan digger emerging.  The four pylons show the  Australian Army, Royal Australian Navy, Royal Australian Air Force and Women's Services.
