“We will remember them”
​

This memorial honours the enormous contribution of Australian servicemen and women, and others who served, suffered or died in conflicts of war


This is a recent and amazing war memorial. It goes from the land into the water (I like this feature).

The small, polished black stone column, in a pond, appears to be the focal point. No inscription noticed on this piece.

There are many sponsored, specific or private plaques and inscriptions in the complex.

The white columns have tiny ([very] hard to see) ‘quirky’ and some horrible messages inscribed into the concrete. I only noticed this before editing the off-camera photos: I went back and got them. There is still one I cannot decypher. 

Some photos are looking to or from the memorial.

The location is awesome; on the Mandurah Estuary, the sea outlet of the Peel Inlet and Harvey Estuary, a large body of water, being the termination of the Serpentine River, Harvey River and Murray River.


The coloured stone (rare Pilbara Stone) comes from the north of the state about 1,760 km (1,100 miles) away
