has done a feature on war memorial parks in Brisbane just in time for ANZAC Day on Wednesday and our beautiful ANZAC Park, Wool Steet, is on the list - of course it would be!
Anzac Park Toowong
"This beautiful hilly green expanse incorporating, ponds, playgrounds and a dog exercise area was established in 1916 by local solicitor Walter Harding and as such is thought to have been the world's first official Anzac Park. Remnants of its original Avenue of Honour – a sacred row of palms and memorial trees which at the time were inscribed with metal commemorative plates - have recently been discovered, with plans now afoot to restore this important historical feature."
