These are the continuation of the pics I took on my first day in Wodonga [pls refer to this post].
A plaque on this rock describes the purpose of the park as follows :
"This park was named NOREUIL to commemorate the gallantry in action of the 11th Australian Field Artillery known to the citizens of Albury as the Albury battery at Noreuil, France - April 1917".
"This park was named NOREUIL to commemorate the gallantry in action of the 11th Australian Field Artillery known to the citizens of Albury as the Albury battery at Noreuil, France - April 1917".
After Noreuil, we went to the Harold Mair bridge.
Harold Davide Mair was born in Albury in 1919. The former RAAF Officer represented the people of Albury on the City council from 1968 to 1978, which included 2 years as Mayor. He then became the State Member for Albury in the NSW Parliament unitl 1988. In this role, he is fondly remembered for his dedicated, strong and persistent representation of the citizens of Albury.
