Additional information

On ANZAC Day 1995 the RSLA Yarraman Sub Branch, in co-operation with the Rosalie Shire Council, unveiled and dedicated a unique timber monument to remember the sacrifices made by the men and women who served their nation from the Yarraman District.

In 2010 a $34,000 upgrade of the Cenotaph and Memorial Park, organised by the RSLA Yarraman Sub Branch, was carried out, including the addition of bronze plaques listing the names of those from Yarraman District who served their nation in war or conflict.
