Places of the Heart

National Service memorial





















I had about half an hour to fill the other day, waiting for daughter to do her driving test, so I went for a walk across the road to East Creek park.

There are a number of memorials in that area, and though I've lived in this city for over fifteen years now, I've never taken the time to look at them.

RAN element
