The Memorial Avenue of trees is a significant commemoration of those who served in World War Two. The plaques provide a historical link to the community and the people from the Gosnells district who served during the War.
The avenue of trees is located in the grounds of Amaroo Nursing Home off Lissiman Street. It consists of a row of London Plane trees along both sides of the driveway parallel with the rear boundary of the Railway Markets. At the base of each tree is a small memorial plaque. Each plaque bears the name of a local person who served in World War Two.
Memorial Avenue is an avenue of London Plane trees (Platanus xhispanica) located within the grounds of Amaroo Village McMahon Caring Centre on Lissiman Street. The Memorial Avenue of trees was planted in a combined effort by the Amaroo Retirement Village and the Rotary Club of Kenwick to serve as a reminder of Australia's contribution to the war effort in World War Two, particularly those Australians who died giving service to their country. The Avenue was dedicated at a ceremony in October 1995, marking the 50th anniversary of the ending of World War Two, hence the name - 'Australia Remembers Memorial Avenue of Trees'. At the base of each tree in the Avenue is a plaque which bears the name of a local person who served in World War Two. In November 2015 a memorial wall located at the end of the Avenue was unveiled which incorporates the names on the existing plaques, as well as new plaques to honour local people who have served in later conflicts.
