Statement of Significance

The Millgrove Avenue of Honour of red flowering gums planted to honour district men who served in the First World War has high local significance as a township landmark and as one of a number of such memorials planted throughout the Shire and, indeed, the State, after the 1914-18 War.

Description

A number of trees from the Millgrove Avenue of Honour survives along the Warburton Highway through Millgrove. The avenue is a mixture of two eucalyptus species: Sugar Gums (Eucalyptus cladocaylx) and Southern Mahogany Gum ( Eucalyptus botryoides). Around fourteen mature trees appear to survive. Some trees, however, show evidence of damage by disease, vehicle impacts and pruning.
