a couple of pics from the west end of the tribute to the fallen

Arch of Victory Memorial is at the other end, there was some road work happening so I could not get any pics

the road has a tree for each of the fallen

great tribute and only a straight (ish) road, I felt a fitting cruise purely for what it is there for

Road down that road many times, but would reach the avenue, in the dark, with mist or fog normally after 8 hours in saddle from Adelaide, was always a poignant brief period, of my visits to Melbourne that gave me shivers down my spine, alone, and thinking how many trees of the fallen, and thinking how much they gave, so I could be blessed to ride at 3 or 4am  in the morning, to think of those heroes, quietly. I won't forget ever, and they were are still in my travelers log..mind, with respect in early 70's onward. Ya know after riding for hours then coming to the avenue of remembrance, gave me pause, and respect, to reflect. I do go on..

My first experience of the Avenue was as a kid in the 60’s, yep drive from Adl to Melb. Dad explained it all. We tried to count the trees but always observed silence when driving the Avenue.
