Inscription Avenue of Memory The Avenue of Memory, the brainchild of Principal Frank Gallagher and his wife Georgette, was planted along Isabella St in 1936 by students of Queanbeyan Public School to commemorate former students who fought and died as a result of WW1. An additional tree was planted for Mr James Ridley, long serving Principal at the time these young men were students. The Avenue was replanted in April 2015 on the Centenary of the landing at Gallipoli, and acknowledges those 28 former pupils, Principal Ridley and Mr and Mrs Gallagher.
