Remembrance Day Commemoration and Guided Tour

Join us to commemorate Remembrance Day followed by an immersive walking tour of the Springvale War Cemetery and the Garden of Remembrance.

We will pause to reflect and honour the service and sacrifice of all who served our country, before moving through the curative gardens and structures with Historian, Dr Lisa Cooper who will share the compelling stories behind the site’s creation, its ongoing significance, and the important work undertaken by the Office of Australian War Graves.

You will visit selected headstones and learn about the individuals, including the fascinating story of Arthur Ruduss, the only person interred here who is not from the Second World War.

This is a rare opportunity to engage deeply with Australia’s wartime history in a peaceful, reflective setting.

Enjoy rich conversation, ask questions, and connect with history in a meaningful way.

Meeting point: Cross of Sacrifice, Springvale War Cemetery, Second Road
