A life-sized digger with head bowed and arms reversed, wearing an ammunition bandolier over his shoulder, is atop a typical Petrie base. The memorial is painted grey and white, and is set in immaculate rose gardens, with a chain border around the memorial, small pipe border around the roses, and a low concrete border around the whole area. It is set in the centre of a divided highway where the Bruce Highway connects with the by-pass road into Bundaberg.
