Emu Parks ANZAC memorial walk wraps around the coast offering fantastic views of the area. The coastal boardwalk meanders from the sandstone historical pictographs, past “ The Spirit – Gallipoli Landing 1915 “painting {GZ}up towards The Gatehouse with its First World War storyboards. It then wanders further up past silhouettes and Battle Markers towards a stunning coastal lookout and ends at the Singing Ship. The memorial pays tribute to the ANZAC’s in a way that offers visitors the chance to learn more about an important piece of history and remember those who have given their lives for us.
LEST WE FORGET
About 50 m from GZ , across the other side of the road to the Singing Ship you can see the Memorial Cenotaph in front of the local RSL hall. (see waypoint )
The Emu Park Cenotaph was unveiled by Mr G.S. Curtis on Anzac Day 1922. At the unveiling ceremony Mr Curtis recited the words of Tennyson's poem :-
"Britons myriad voices call
Sons be welded each and all
Into one Imperial whole,
One with Britain heart and soul;
One life, one flag, one fleet , one throne."
