ANZAC TreePrint Page 
The 'ANZAC Tree' commemorates the 26 men who left Watsonville to fight in World War One.
The first ANZAC service was held in April 1916 during which ‘several trees were planted to commemorate the landing of our brave soldiers who fell on that memorable day’ (Cairns Post Saturday 6 May 1916 p 8). The sign suggests this mango was planted at the second such commemoration service although, unlike the plantings noted in 1916 this was not reported in the press. The tree is marked with a relatively recent timber sign on a metal pipe post. The sign reads ANZAC tree planted ANZAC​ Day 1917.
ANZAC Day services are now commemorated here to remember the many bushmen and miners from the region who fought for their country.
