Barmedman Memorial Park and Memorials

Barmedman Memorial Park was opened on 26 October 1920 in honour of those who served in the First World War. On 11 November 1922 a large grey granite obelisk on a red granite base was unveiled in the park. Names are engraved into the granite and highlighted in gold. The obelisk was originally erected to commemorate those who had served in the First World War, with veteran names from the Second World War and Vietnam War added later. There is a single white flagpole at the entrance to the garden and a green First World War field gun at the rear. There are also two commemorative plaques on the front gate to servicemen who returned and provided their services to the R.S.L and Barmedman community.

The opening of the memorial park commenced with the Temora Band leading a procession of returned soldiers, officials and close to 1,000 people from Queen Street via the Public School to the park. The Wyalong Advocate and Mining, Agricultural and Pastoral Gazette, 29 October 1920, described the event in detail, particularly referencing the park's design. The entrance was constructed of brick with a gate and fencing of attractive ironwork. Pathways were laid out in the shape of the Union Jack, with a total of 125 trees planted representing those who had enlisted, including twenty sugar gum trees in memory of those who had died.

Two years later on Armistice Day, 11 November 1922, the memorial obelisk was unveiled before a large audience. The ceremony was presided over by Mr W Collier, with speeches from the Reverend J D Nicholson, and Narraburra Shire Councillor David Nixon, who had lost a son in the war. Mr Nixon was then invited to unveil the memorial (The Wyalong Advocate, 28 November 1922).
