Geocache Description:


The cache is an easy find where you can sit and take in this historical site.

The First World War Memorial is situated in a park in Charleville; the park has an ornamental fence and gates, and a path leads to the memorial.
Also within the park are two guns or war trophies and a flagstaff.

The memorial itself is surrounded by a cast iron picket fence with fleur-de-lis finials and a centrally placed gate.

The Italian marble monument stands 23 feet (7.0 m) from the ground. It sits on a terazzo base step, the top of which is laid with light and dark tiles in a chequerboard pattern. Above this is the sandstone base of the monument. The base displays plaques on all faces, commemorating later conflicts., and one earlier one – the Boer War.

Projecting from the centre of the base is a square pillar with engaged columns at each corner. The pillar is of Italian marble and bears leaded names of those who served in the First World War, including the fallen for whom the front panel is reserved. At the top of each face are carved shields bearing the stylised letters AIF (Australian Imperial Forces).
