Seymour Anzac Avenue - Veterans Description for Public
During the period of the First World War, the old Trawool Road in Seymour (which had been the site of the "Welcome to Lord Kitchener" in 1910), was renamed Anzac Avenue. Tree planting took place there in July 1917, each tree representing a district soldier. By 1982, Anzac Avenue had another name - the Goulburn Valley Highway - this coupled with the steady spread of housing into this newer area on high ground, made a dual carriageway a necessity, resulting in the uprooting of the avenue of trees. A suitable memorial was included as part of the median strip, which comprises of a paved brick flagstaff and circular monument explaining the history of the avenue.
