HONOUR THEIR SPIRIT
On November 11 1918, the guns fell silent on the
Western Front marking the end of the First World War.
One hundred years later, this Gallipoli Aleppo Pine is planted as a
living memorial to honour the spirit of the ANZACS and their families
whose extraordinary sacrifices made possible the peace and freedoms we enjoy today
