Northern Territory Garden of RemembrancePrint Page
The Garden of Remembrance and War Graves Cemetery commemorate those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
Gardens of Remembrance are an alternative and distinctively Australian way of official commemoration. There are ten Office of Australian War Graves (OAWG) Gardens of Remembrance, one in every Australian capital city as well as Townsville and Launceston. Containing almost 200,000 commemorations, they are often located near the major war cemeteries and are maintained in perpetuity by OAWG staff.
