Memorial Avenue in Cowra

There’s nothing like a living memorial to stir your soul. You’ll find two impressive examples in Cowra when you drive down the “avenues of honour”, located on the north and south of the Grenfell Road, and east and west of the Boorowa Road.

Four hundred trees were planted by the Women’s Club in 1917 to represent all the young soldiers from Cowra and district who served in World War One. Their towering presence is a reminder of how far Australia has come since that war; their beauty is an uplifting reminder of the brave men and women who lost their lives fighting for freedom.
