The Grieving Mother Memorial,
of which I have shared several photos and posts
is situated in the left corner of this image
of Ballarat’s Arch of Victory.
Outbound view.

The Ballarat Avenue of Honour is famous for being
the first avenue of its kind in Australia
(perhaps in the world)
and the longest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.
It incorporates the Ballarat Arch of Victory and extends
for approximately 22 kilometres.
In total, the trees represent 3912 Ballarat and district
men and women who served in
World War One – 528 of whom
were killed in battle or died
of wounds or disease.

More elaborate but it reminds me of the Peach Arch between the U.S. and Canada. The inscription reads may these gates never be closed. They are now. Who could have seen this coming. – Margy

Would have loved to visit Peace Arch. So near and yet so far…maybe next time…. I don’t think anyone would have predicted such a world wide shut down, Margy. Stay safe. 🙂🙂

What a beautiful arch and a wonderful way to remember those who served in the armed forces with the trees.
Thanks for taking part at ‘My Corner of the World’ this week! It’s good to see you.
