Corindhap Avenue of Honour
The Corindhap Avenue of Honour was planted to commemorate those who served in the First World War. The avenue was planted on the 15th September 1917 as a mark of admiration for the men of Corindhap who had left to fight in the Great war. Over the last few years some of these majestic trees have reached the end of their life but rather than chopping them down for firewood, the Corindhap community decided to keep the lower trunks intact and commissioned local artist Viktor Cebergs to fashion sculptures that would reflect the commemorative spirit of the site. The result is that the old trees have been transformed into sculptures depicting imagery of war.
Review:
A nice area with four big carvings from tree stumps, unshaded seats integrated into old farming equipment, other historical equipment, BBQ and shelter without seats.
The carvings are titled "Wounded Officer and Horse", "Digger", "Pilot / Lancaster Bomber" and "Woman an Child receiving letter from the War Office"
