In this session attendees will get a full appreciation of Ballarat's The Arch of Victory/Avenue of Honour, planned and established as one of the most significant World War 1 memorials in the world. They will also learn about some of those names behind the plaques.

The speakers are Amethyst May and Garry Snowden.

Amethyst May is a student at Mount Clear College who has a passion for Australia's war history. She will present a short documentary on Ballarat's women during the Great War, which won a gold medal recently. She looks forward to an opportunity to answer your questions about this moving tribute to service personnel.

Garry Snowden is president of Ballarat's Arch of Victory/Avenue of Honour Committee and has extensively researched the men and women commemorated in the Avenue.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
