Veterans of WWII in New Guinea can be remembered in a lasting tribute at the impressive Rotary Kokoda Memorial Wall at Cascade Gardens in Broadbeach, Qld. Through a partnership with the Gold Coast Council and Wall trustees, you can honour a family member or friend with their name inscribed on a paver and laid under their Battalion insignia. (2/14, 2/16. 39Btn, PIB, NGIB) OR, for those serving in other areas of New Guinea apart from the Kokoda Track, under New Guinea WWII veterans.
There are two types of pavers. The first is placed in the Honour Roll for those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the PNG campaigns. Their surnames are in capitals on the paver. The other type is for veterans who survived the PNG campaigns. The lettering of their names is in lower case. The cost per paver is approximately $100 including laying.
No service numbers or rank can be included on the pavers; and also verification of service records is mandatory. (See Verification Form)
Orders can be placed by completing the order form.
Recognition of pavers laid each year will be part of future Kokoda Day Services at Broadbeach on August 8. (See Kokoda Day 2025 Ceremony)
