Inverell R.S.M. Club Lone Pine Story Board

About

The memorial is an elegant, laser-engraved board, made of timber from the original Inverell Lone Pine. This historic tree was felled in 2007 due to safety concerns. The board tells the story of the tree and is decorated with stylised military maps of Gallipoli and illustrations of battle scenes. It is positioned on an easel within the foyer of the Inverell Returned Servicemen's Memorial (R.S.M.) Club. Inverell RSL Club Secretary Hans Mouthaan was instrumental in obtaining the memorial. It was dedicated by New England MP Tony Windsor and a member of the Smith Family on Anzac Day, 25 April 2013.  The board was made by a laser company based in Ashmore, Queensland. It was designed to complement the other memorials in the club's foyer, including the Inverell R.S.M. Club First World War Memorial Sculpture, which is mounted on piece from the same tree. Another Inverell Lone Pine is located in nearby Victoria Park. Information for this listing was provided courtesy of the Inverell RSL sub-Branch.
