The names of 645 martyrs can be seen on the memorial wall. Near the silver dome, there is a towering monument in the shape of a ship's bow, and a bronze statue of a woman waiting for the return of her beloved. Because the monument is on a hill, you can overlook the city of Geraldton and the sea from here.

It was memorable and we had a silent moment, to remember those that passed.
On a hill, we went together at night and once in the morning, a similar "helmet" shape east-east, on which there are many peace pigeons. Looking at it, we went to use a very advanced (high-tech) fully automated toilet near the scenic area and left. There's a very large Coles Supermarkets nearby. It takes six to seven hours to get back to Perth and 400 to 500 kilometers to get on the road after buying good food, drinks and so on.
Very solemn place, especially seeing the curtain wall engraved with the names of 645 soldiers, and the statue of the anxious-looking mother who is looking forward to the return of the child, the heart is heavy, the war is always abominable, and the hope that humanity will learn from it.
