Glengarry Avenue of Honour Print Page

The Glengarry Avenue of Honour was planted using Eucalyptus species along Cairnbrook Road by members of the Country Women's Association to commemorate those who served in World War Two. Replacement trees including other types of trees were planted by the Girl Guides in later years.

The Glengarry Avenue of Honour comprises a variety of mature trees that line both sides of Cairnbrook Road between the Traralgon-Maffra Road and Railway Avenue and it is believed that these are remnants of at least two different memorial plantings. The majority of the trees are mature Eucalypt species (possibly Mahogany Gums), which are believed to be the trees planted c.1950 as part of the World War Two Avenue of Honour. There are some gaps in the avenue, as well as some semi-mature and different species such as Flowering Gums.
