Kingaroy Soldiers Memorial Rotunda
The silver domed band rotunda set in a large park, with steps leading up from a Stone of Remembrance. This is a replica of the Imperial War Graves stone designed by Sir Edwin Lutyns and is rarely seen apart from official war graves. It is painted white and set on a stepped red painted concrete base.
Around the frieze of the band rotunda are the names: Gallipoli, France, Cocos Islands, Egypt, New Guinea, Sinai and Belgium, with Gallipoli being over the main red steps.
