a group of three trees were planted by the Governor General on 1 November 2002 in Remembrance Park to mark the Canberra end of the Remembrance driveway linking the national capital to Sydney. There are five commemorative trees commemorating various branches of the armed forces planted along the

western side of the Memorial building. These have subsequently been relocated to enhance the visual interpretation of the main building. Trees of horticultural importance are EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS ssp GLOBULUS, E. GLOBULUS ssp MAIDENII, E. MACARTHURII, E. RUBIDA-CINERIA hybird, E. MICHAELIANA .

Social Value Importance

The War Memorial is the National shrine for all Australians. The Memorial building is a purpose built repository where the nature of commemoration is based in equal parts in the relationship between the building, the collections of objects and records and the commemorative spaces. The ceremonial landscape immediately in front of the main building takes the form of an amphitheatre with central steps leading up to the Memorial building. There are paved and grassed terraces each side of the steps and the focus of the amphitheatre is the Stone of Remembrance. The remaining landscape areas are generally grassed with scattered tree plantings. The Lone Pine, growing to the west of the Memorial building and surrounded by an ornate wrought metal fence, has direct association with the Gallipoli campaign in World War One. Remembrance Park contains two Victoria Cross memorials, trees and a commemorative plaque marking one of the ends of the Remembrance driveway connecting the national capital with Sydney.
History: Not Available
Condition and Integrity:
Cracks in the masonry and concrete construction appeared before the building's completion and continue. Over time, cracking has affected the backgrounds for dioramas (subsequently repaired or replaced) and the Hall of Memory where it is a continuing conservation concern. The building has also suffered stonework deterioration and water leaks. The building is currently in generally fair to good condition. The design of the building, galleries and displays has evolved over a long period of time, while the overall form of the Memorial building has generally not changed. The 1968-71 extension of the transepts is in sympathy with this form. The interior spaces including the galleries have been much altered over the years and the original skylights were modified and then closed. The essential and integrated relationship of the relics, records and memorial spaces, which was part of the early conception for the Memorial, remains strongly expressed. (June 1995)
