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.

ANZAC Peace Park Print Page 
The ANZAC Peace Park is a significant site for the interpretation of Albany's role as a departure point for soldiers in World War One.
Features completed at the ANZAC Peace Park to 2011 included a Pier of Remembrance, Memorial Wall, interpretive elements, lights, seating and landscaping. The final stage of the project included establishing a Lone Pine Grove, additional pathways and performance areas, and installing lighting throughout the park including up-lighting for the flagpoles. The Anzac Peace Park now features plantings of seedlings generated from the seeds of the Aleppo pines located at Lone Pine in Gallipoli, representing a direct connection between the two cities. The City of Albany held a service to mark the dedication of Lone Pine Grove on 27 May 2012.
In 2014, the ANZAC Peace Park in Albany was the centrepiece of the 100-year commemoration of the 1914 departure of Australian and New Zealand troops for the Gallipoli campaign. In 2015, Australia observed the centenary of Anzac Day and Albany was the focus of national attention as the point of departure of the Anzac convoy and as the location of the first recognised dawn service commemorating the 25 April 1915 landing at Gallipoli.
