Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) Australia, with a population of then just 3 million, had 415,000 citizens mobilised in military service over World War 1. Debates on conscription were divisive, nationally and locally. It lost 60,000 soldiers to WW1 – a ratio of one in five to its population at the time. New Zealand’s 1914 population was 1 million. World War 1 saw 10% of its people, some 103,000 troops and nurses head overseas, many for the first time. Some 18,277 died in World War1 and another 41,317 (65,000: Mike Roche, pers. comm., 17/10/2018) were wounded, a 58% casualty rate. About another 1000 died within 5 years of 1918, from injuries (wiki). This had a huge impact, reshaping the country’s perception of itself and its place in the world (Watters, 2016). AGHS member Sarah Wood (who since 2010 has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues in Melbourne, Ballarat and France) notes that 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return. This left lasting scars on what then was a young, united ‘nation’ of states, only since 1901. Mawrey (2014, 33) notes that when what became known as the ‘Great War’ started, it was soon apparent that casualties were on a scale previously unimaginable. By the end of 1914, virtually all the major combatants had suffered greater losses than in all the wars of the previous hundred years put together.

Management of Operations at Pine Gap
The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability Management of Operations at Pine Gap Desmond Ball, Bill Robinson and Richard Tanter Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability Special Report 24 November 2015 Summary The management of operations at the Pine Gap facility has become increasingly complex as the functions of the station have expanded, the number of agencies involved has grown, and the demands of a wider range of ‘users’ or ‘customers’ for the provision of ‘actionable intelligence’ in near real-time have increased markedly. Operations at Pine Gap are now completely integrated, in terms of American and Australian, civilian and military, and contractor personnel working together in the Operations Room; the organisational structure for managing operations, which embodies concerted collaboration of multiple US agencies, including the National Reconnaissance Office, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Service Cryptologic Agencies and the National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency (NGA); and functionally with respect to signals intelligence (SIGINT) collected by the geosynchronous SIGINT satellites controlled by Pine Gap, communications intelligence collected by foreign satellite/communications satellite (FORNSAT/COMSAT) interception systems at Pine Gap, and imagery and geospatial intelligence produced by the NGA, as well as missile launch detection and tracking data. Conceptualising the extraordinary growth and expansion of operations at Pine Gap is not easy – by the nature of the facility. Externally, it is evident in the increase in size of the two main operations buildings within the high security compound – areas quite distinct from the separate part of the facility that deals with administration matters. The total area of floor space in the Operations Buildings has increased five-fold since 1970 to more than 20,000 m2.

Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g.

5. Australian Memorial Avenues
5. AUSTRALIAN MEMORIAL AVENUES Information from published literature, personal discussions with members of the public and the arboricultural profession and the survey forms conducted by this study have been collated to produce a summary of memorial avenues throughout Australia. This list contains historical and descriptive information where available and represents all avenues known to these contributors. This list is unlikely to contain all avenues ever planted and may contain inaccuracies. It is possible that some avenues, particularly in Victoria, have been listed twice as some avenues have been called different names by different sources. All care has been made to only include factual information but a detailed investigation of all individual avenues is required for complete accuracy. In some isolated cases certain facts may already be lost to history and we must rely on opinion and conjecture. FIG 5.1: BACCHUS MARSH AVENUE OF HONOUR, VIC. (SARAH COCKERELL 2007) 1 5.1 Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory No avenues were identified in the Northern Territory. Several single trees and other vegetative memorials exist. Only 2 avenues within the ACT have been identified. No council surveys were completed for these avenues. 5.1.1. Locations, Tree Details, Signs and Plaques The small number of avenues in the ACT is probably caused by the small area occupied by the Territory and the proximity of various federal memorials. Instead of local communities building their own memorials the presence of the federal government in Canberra resulted in larger, national memorials such as the Australian War Memorial. It is not known why the memorial at Hall contains such a variety of species or if any of the trees were replacements from the original planting.

Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Groves and Lone Pines – Around Australia, in New Zealand and Turkey
Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, groves and Lone Pines – around Australia, in New Zealand and Turkey Update: An updated list follows. Bolded text is new: numbers rise. 6 Boer War avenues, 452 Honour Avenues (2 new, in NSW & Vic.); 103 Memorial Avenues (2 new, in NSW & Tas., with 7 in NZ); 265 WW2 or later war memorial non-avenue plantings (groves, etc: 13 new, in ACT, NSW, NZ and Vic.); 148 Notable avenues (6 new, in NSW, NZ & Vic.), 127 Lone Pines, (8 new, with 112 in Australia & 15 in NZ). Victoria’s National Trust are entering all avenues on their NTA Significant Tree Register: a great move. Heritage Victoria are running a consultancy to audit that state’s avenues, liaise with Councils, identify key risks, develop an assessment tool for them, a priority list for state listing and action plan to conserve significant avenues. Bravo: a good precedent for other states to emulate. Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) Australia, with a population of then just 3 million, had 415,000 citizens mobilised in military service over World War 1.
