Physical Description

The Memorial is comprised of a number of elements that are composed together to create a unified acknowledgment. A simple steel frame holds signage and two small figures representing service men. Under the framework is a rose garden, anchor, propellor and mounted plaques. Alongside this grouping is a flagpole and two conifers define the edges of the memorial. The memorial is denoted with brick paving and is located between two carparks in the central Medina shopping precinct.

History

This memorial was built in 1957 by the Kwinana RSL and was initially located on the verge outside the Town Hall. The simple structure has been used as the location of annual events to acknowledge Australian servicemen and women. The vene continues to be the location for these events until the present [2021] day.
