Description / Background

The Judas and Lone Pine trees are located at the front of Nundle Anglican Church. Both commemorate Australians who served at Gallipoli in the First World War.

The landing at Anzac Cove took place on Sunday 25 April 1915 and the troops were mostly from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac). At the time of landing, the distinctive Judas tree was in flower. 

The Australian Government, Department of Veteran Affairs website states, "Shrapnel Valley (also known as Shrapnel Gully) Cemetery was laid out near the exit to the beach from the valley, south of Anzac Cove in early May 1915."

The Australian War Memorial website outlines the story of the battle at Lone Pine which took place early in August 1915. The Lone Pine trees developed at Yarralumla Nursery in Canberra are meant for commemorative purposes.
