As you move through the curative gardens and commemorative structures, Dr Cooper will share the compelling stories behind the site’s creation, its ongoing significance, and the important work currently being undertaken by the Office of Australian War Graves.
Along the way, you’ll visit selected headstones and learn about the individuals commemorated, including the fascinating story of Arthur Ruduss, the only person interred here who is not from the Second World War.
This is a rare opportunity to engage deeply with Australia’s wartime history in a peaceful, reflective setting.
Enjoy rich conversation, ask questions, and connect with history in a meaningful way.
