Arch of Victory
spanning
Ballarat’s Avenue of Honour
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.

Arc de Triomphe, in Paris
Finally, the…
…Arch in Ypres’
Menin Gate
in Belgium.
I had heard my Father talk of
Menin Gate all my life.
So my 2017 visit was a
truly moving experience,
to visit the battlefields
and pass along the same roads
as my Grandfather did,
during World War I,
all those years ago.
Certainly Australia’s best known arch.
Not sure how it rates on a world stage
although we are constantly told
it is recognised the world over.

WeeklyPrompts-PC-What-Am-I?
~
I am native to Australia,
some may even think
I am cute and cuddly
Maybe that’s because
I am Cuddly Koala’s
closest living relative.
I am one of the world’s largest
burrowing mammals.
My mobility is usually a waddle,
but I have been known to run
at 40 km per hour.
If you happen to be tracking
in Australia and see some
cube shaped poo, I won’t be far away!
