About Remembrance Gardens
War Memorials and Plaques at Remembrance Gardens
Remembrance Gardens holds several monuments, starting with a large slate rock that carries an "Australia Remembers 1945 - 1995" plaque for the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. A separate plaque marks the 60th anniversary. Towards the rear of the garden, a symbol for each of the three services appears: an anchor, a howitzer gun and a propeller. A black marble plaque on a plinth, presented by Mt Druitt Sub-Branch RSL, reads "Lest we forget", and a Carers of veterans plaque lists its supporting groups. A sandstone First World War Roll of Honour, naming servicemen from Mount Druitt and Colyton, stands in the garden beside a flagpole.
Garden Setting and Creek Bridge at Remembrance Gardens
Remembrance Gardens sits on about an acre of land beside the Great Western Highway, opened in 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. A concrete path leads through the grounds, and two low brick walls define its edges. A small creek runs through the garden and is crossed by a wooden bridge, which gives visitors a way across the water between the memorial areas. The garden is classed as a garden and park memorial for the 1939 to 1945 conflict.
