The Western Australian Garden of Remembrance is situated adjacent to the Perth War Cemetery at Smyth Road, Nedlands.
The garden was officially opened on 23 October 1966. In 1997 the garden was extended and extensively renovated. The Western Australian Garden of Remembrance has a plaque capacity of 33,000. From the main entrance, a central pathway leads to a gazebo where seats have been placed for visitors' comfort.
A dedication plaque is located within the gazebo. Mounted below that plaque is a reopening plaque placed in 1997.
From the gazebo a feature wall may be seen upon which a plaque has been placed with the inscription 'Their Name Liveth For Evermore'.
Internal paths lead to all sections of the garden, including another feature wall displaying the three service emblems.
A path also continues around the perimeter of the garden where commemorative plaques have been placed.
Throughout spring, summer and autumn the gardens bloom with lavender and rosemary — flowers that symbolise remembrance. [extract from Gardens of Remembrance, Australian Government Dept Veterans Affairs, "Commemorating all who served" website 2020]
