Website | EmailNational Memorial to the Australian Army, which was unveiled by the Honourable Bill Hayden (former Governor General of Australia) in 1989, was erected in recognition of the contribution the men and women of the armed forces have made to this nation. It honours the courage of generations of Australians who have served in the army. Two imposing statues of "diggers" (Australian soldiers), depicting the camaraderie and mateship of the soldiers, are surrounded by seven pillars, which represent the seven major conflicts in which the Australian army has been involved. The memorial is set atop a jagged-edged dais surrounded by water, which symbolises the sea and difficult terrain.
