Vietnam War MemorialPrint Page 
The mural commemorates those who served in the Vietnam War. It was officially unveiled on Vietnam Veterans Day.
The mural is painted across the Anakie Street side of the building, with the mural featuring poppies and the Ode of Remembrance. The mural was paid for by Central Highlands Regional Council in support of the Emerald RSL.
Australia's military involvement in the Vietnam War began with the arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) in South Vietnam during July and August 1962. Australia's participation in the war was formally declared at an end when the Governor-General issued a proclamation on 11 January 1973.
However, the end-date of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War has officially been amended to 29 April 1975 to reflect Australia’s further involvement in the war during the fall of Saigon in 1975. The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Australian War Memorial, in Canberra now recognise this new date.
