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.

The first one I encountered was the National Service memorial (above). This was dedicated in 2009.

Vietnam War memorial






































Then there is the Vietnam war memorial, dedicated in 2004.


This plaque honours the civilians.

Air force tribute

RAN element

This commemorates the RAN.

And the driving test? Success - another learner in the family.
