The Kingaroy statue could be similar to this (Qld War Memorial Register)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 21, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Memorial Park in Kingaroy could boast a new statue in 2015 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy-Memerambi RSL Sub-Branch plans to apply to the South Burnett Regional Council for permission to erect a life-size statue of a lone Digger on a plinth in front of the park’s rotunda.<\/p>\n

Sub-Branch Deputy President \/ Treasurer Warren Cockburn told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> today the statue would be commissioned from a Clifton sculptor and hand-carved from black granite.<\/p>\n

The sculptor has extensive experience in dealing with war memorials and works with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.<\/p>\n

The estimated cost of the project would be $18,000 to $20,000.<\/p>\n

The Sub-Branch hopes to be successful in a funding application to cover the costs, but donations from the community would also be gratefully accepted.<\/p>\n

Warren can be contacted on (07) 4162-4881.<\/p>\n

SBRC Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said he’d been told about the RSL’s plans and supported the concept.<\/p>\n

“The Anzac tradition was born at Gallipoli and 2015 will be a special year right around Australia,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I think this statue would be a very fitting addition to Memorial Park.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
