Description:

These colourful ribbons complement the heritage listed Monument to those who served during WWI and those who lost their lives in WWII and Korea. They are designed to educate residents about the contribution that our community has made via military service. Originally unveiled on Remembrance Day 2012, these five ribbon bars represent medals that symbolise overseas service in conflicts and humanitarian efforts by Australia’s Armed Forces since Federation in 1901. Each ribbon bar contains text and images representative of the conflict or theatre that the bar represents.
