Description / Background

This memorial consists of a cement rendered cruciform-shaped clock tower raised on two lots of four pillars. An honour roll with dedication is attached towards the top of the tower. The clock tower was originally erected in honour of those who fell in the First World War and was unveiled on Empire Day, 24 May 1928.

Underneath the tower, a black stone cenotaph engraved with an honour roll for the Second World War and later conflicts has been installed at a later date. Several other commemorative plaques are attached to the memorial, and the Junee Long Tan memorial is also in proximity to the tower.
