The Australian Memorial Park commemorates the men of the 5th Australian Division who were killed during the Battle of Fromelles in July 1916. The centrepiece of the park is the impressive Cobber memorial which shows an Australian soldier rescuing a wounded comrade. At the rear of the par are the remnants of a shattered German pillbox. The park was opened in 1998 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the battle. Nearby is the VC Corner cemetery and the Le Trou Aid Post cemetery.

beautifully maintained. Lest we forget

Bloody brilliant. Kudos to the French people and the commonwealth war graves commission for keeping this place immaculate

Evocative front line memorial and ruined bunkers. Would be even better if there was an information board showing location of old trench lines.

A very special place for those of us interested in Australia's part in WW1. Very serene and quite moving. Very beautiful when 'sown' with thousands of hand made poppies in 2016

Very emotional experience. The memorial is beautifully maintained and reflects on the horror and heroism of war

I suggest you read the history behind this sad place of sacrificial lambs of all the allied forces. In brief a few of things I have been told this was just a diversionary operation to try to distract main attacks at Somme, the poor Diggers and English were just machine gun fodder from German salient. One English officer was court martialed for refusing to send his men to the slaughter. Memorial Park was designed to commemorate the Australians who fought and died during the attack at the Battle of Fromelles on 19 to 20 July 1916.

We had a really interesting talk here from a WWI historian. Surreal to learn Hitler served in the trenches here (and revisited in WWII)

Very moving memorial ground & statue.

Pay your respects to the fallen Australian soldiers. The complete area is very interesting to visit. It is so long ago, but still feels present when you visit sites like these.
