BOER WAR MEMORIAL OAK TREES

The pair of Boer War Memorial Oak Trees, believed to have been planted in July 1901, adjacent to Kardella-Fairbank Road, Kardella.
A pair of Oak Trees planted adjacent to the roadside (Kardella-Fairbanks Road) in the middle of what was Kardella township. 
The trees are in fair condition.

The pair of memorial Oak trees at Kardella are of local historic significance to South Gippsland Shire.

Historically, they are believed to be the only memorial to the Boer War in the Shire and are the earliest war memorial in the Shire. Together with the nearby Honour Avenue planted in memory of the First World War, they demonstrate the impact of these conflicts upon the Kardella community and assist in interpreting the location of Kardella township, which has now all but disappeared.
