The reverse side (rear view) of 'The Rock' War Memorial. The hill in the background is the feature from which the actual town, draws it's name.
The Rock (War Trophy)
An 08 Maxim machinegun, laid next to the war memorial at 'The Rock'. This relic was part of the war trophy concept - where each town or district which supplied young men for the war effort; would receive an item of ordnance of some description; in recognition of it's sacrifice. These items were collected by the Australian War Record Section, headed by Captain John Trealor. This man would later play a major role in the foundation of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Tuross Head
The War Memorial at Tuross Head on the Far South Coast. Situated off the Princes Highway (on the coast between Moruya and Narooma) this war memorial can boast arguably one of the best 'Anzac Day Dawn Service' ceremonies in Australia. Complete with a fully mounted Light Horse Living History Group, the sunrise silhouettes the horses and provides a very moving backdrop behind the memorial.
