A commemorative avenue of palms was planted in 1918. A large section was relocated in 1993 to run parallel to Sylvan Road from the car park, curving gently towards the memorial gates. Dawn ANZAC Day services proceed along this avenue, gathering at a more recent RSL memorial cairn, inside the gates....
