'Kurrajongs' Historical Marker, Narromine
MemorialsA memorial avenue of Kurrajong Trees was originally planted by the Narromine Municipal Council along Dandaloo Street from 1917, in honour of the servicemen who fell in the First World War. The trees were removed in 1934-35 to allow the surface to receive a bitumen seal. The centre islands were added later. In 2018 the Kurrajong Trees were removed and replaced by Manchurian Pear Trees as part of the Main Street Enhancement Program. A plaque attached to a sandstone plinth is now located outside the Narromine Council Chambers in Dandaloo Street. It traces the development of the memorial avenue from Kurrajongs to Manchurian Pear Trees. It also includes the emblems of the Council and Returned Services League, Australia. The plaque was unveiled on 30 August 2020 by the Narromine Shire Mayor Craig Davies and Narromine RSL sub-Branch president Neil Richardson.

1st Australian Horse and the Australian Light Horse War Memorial, Harden
MemorialsLocal artist and stone mason, Carl Valerius, designed and created this imaginative memorial consisting of a large granite block with bronze statue and reliefs, together with a wall of remembrance and an allegorical garden. A bronze 1st Australian Horse hat badge embellishes the rock face and a full sized statue of Corporal William Bradford of the 1st Australian Horse stands along side. The western face features a sculptured relief depicting hand-to-hand fighting for the Wells of Beersheba, on 31 October 1917. A nearby stone wall has bronze plaques listing the names of original recruits to the 1st Australian Horse, 1897. At the centre of the wall is a horse trough-shaped fountain created from black granite which is reflective, and from which water overflows at each side, representing a renewal of life. Below the wall is an allegorical water garden symbolic of the coming together of people from the cities, the farms and the bush to go to war, the futility and violence of war and the eventual peace. Planting throughout the space consists of Australian plant species, together with plants native to South Africa and the Middle East. Note: The list of names below is a compilation of 1897 volunteers for the 1st Australian Horse, many of whom were later to fight in the Boer War, 1899-1902.

1st Light Horse Regiment and Headquarters 8th Division Memorial
MemorialsThis memorial is located on an unmade section of Florence Avenue, north of the intersection with Evans Avenue. It commemorates the Light Horse Regiments who trained on the site which is the former Rosebery Racecourse, prior to embarkation during the First and Second World Wars. The memorial comprises a pink coloured granite block mounted on a white marble plinth. Two bronze plaques are mounted on the granite block. Brick paving surrounds the memorial. The memorial is located on the fence line of Southern Cross Drive and as a result, traffic noise is a concern. The memorial was rededicated on Sunday, 12 August 1990. The Council has determined the memorial will be upgraded for the First World War centenary celebrations. The upgrading and landscape embellishment works to be undertaken late 2014/early 2015 will be funded by Council with Federal Government grant funds allocated to Council under the ANZAC Centenary Local Grants Program. Works will include the relocation of the memorial a few metres towards the east to allow for acoustic screening, new decorative paving surrounding the memorial, and restoration of the plaques. A new plaque to commemorate the centenary will also be installed. Bayside Council manages the site and adjoining parkland under its Pocket Park Plan of Management.
