Lest We forget

Bushrock plaque 1

Australia Remembers 1945 - 1995

This stone stand in tribute to all Australian

men and women whose sacrifices contributed to

peace at the end of the 1939 - 45 war.

We honour the memory of those who gave their 

lives in defence of our country. We remember

those whose lives were burdened by battle scars.

We sympathise with families broken and wounded

by death and injury on the battlefield.

We renew our welcome to all new Australians

who have sought refuge in our land from war

and oppression.

We acknowledge out debt to the rural

community, to those in industry and to all who

loyally served on the home front.

God Bless Them All - Lest We Forget
