Quite a goal, 102,000 trees to be either planted in new avenues or restored for existing avenues to honour the 102,000 diggers who died in service to Australia since WWI.

Project completion to be by 2015, managed by Treenet, which is great.

Other than SA,VIC and NSW are there any avenues of honour elsewhere? If so may pay to inform them.

Here's a link to Ballarat's Avenue of Honour.

There's two I know of in Queensland, but have not actualy seen myself.
Rockhampton City Council replaced and renewed a large number of trees when the War Memorial was moved in 2003. The trees planted were Peltophorum ptereocarpum.
Roma Town Council has an avenue of the fallen 93 Brachychiton rupestris on the Qld Heritage register http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/projects/h...=600824&back=1

Last years Treenet conference had an excellent paper by Dr Karen Olsen on the potential conflict between managing trees for heritage (avenues of honour for example) and managing trees for aesthetics and risk.

So you have to write to Treenet and get them recorded on their map mate, good on you.

See if we can get some pics of these avenues (recent ones)
