Yambuk Avro Anson Crash Memorial, War memorial at The Crags, Victoria, Australia.
The memorial features a bluestone base and bronze plaque overlooking Lady Julia Percy Island, marking the location of a World War II aircraft crash.
Four Royal Australian Air Force crew members perished on February 15, 1944, when their Avro Anson AW-878 aircraft crashed during a navigation exercise near Lady Julia Percy Island.
The memorial stone, crafted by stone mason Ian Knowles, represents the local community's dedication to preserving military aviation history in coastal Victoria.
Visitors can access the memorial site through The Crags Car Park, which provides direct views of Lady Julia Percy Island and the approximate crash location.
Scattered aircraft parts remained visible on the ocean floor until the late 20th century, discovered by local abalone divers who initiated the memorial's construction.
