Woodhouse Memorial PlantationPrint Page 
Six rows of trees commemorate those from the Woodhouse - Nareeb District who died in service or were killed in action during World War Two. Trees were also planted for 8th Division nursing staff who died in service or were killed in action during the evacuation of Singapore.
The trees were originally planted in 1954 and dedicated by Sister Jeffrey on the 18th September 1955. After the plantation had been threatened by a bushfire in 1977 it was decided to place a memorial cairn at the site. The cairn regarding the trees was dedicated on the 5th November 1978 by Sister Jeffrey.
