Bundaberg War Memorial, War memorial at Bourbong Street, Bundaberg, Australia
The memorial features a digger statue carved from Italian marble, standing atop a granite and trachyte base reaching 30 feet in height.
Construction began in 1920 with General Sir William Birdwood laying the foundation stone, leading to its completion and unveiling on Anzac Day 1921.
The memorial displays tablets inscribed with names of 300 local servicemen, including one from the Boer War and 277 from the First World War.
The structure, designed by architect F H Faircloth and built by Anselm and Odling from Sydney, cost £1,650 upon completion in 1921.
This memorial stands as one of two remaining fully intact digger monuments in Queensland that maintain their original position and setting.
