Gates on the Domain/Park in the village Mangateparu SE of Auckland on the Morrinsville Road.

Memorial Gates at Rangitukia NZ. A small community to the east of Tikitiki in the East Cape/ Gisborne area. It looks like the gates are the entry to the Marae.

The entry gates at the Lone Pine Memorial at Leura NSW. A very pretty spot. The gates are a war memorial to the soldiers of the Leura district.

Memorial Gates at Jugiong NSW about 50kmsNE of Gundagai. The gates are dedicated to our men and women who served our country in times of conflict. Some who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy today

Victor Richardson Memorial Gates. Not as they were originally built due to the reconstuction of Adelaide Oval. The plaques have been repositioned and still evoke the memories one has of the Chapple brothers

The gates at the entry to the Nowra Showground complex. The gates were dcesigned by architect Cyril Blackett and dedicated in 1931. The sculpture in front was dedicated in 1968 and was sculpted by O L Steen

We found these memorial gates at the small town of Swan Creek just outside of Grafton, New South Wales.

There are only a couple of buildings around, and the gates are easily seen from the old highway here.

The gates commemorate two soldiers from the local area.

These memorial gates are at the St Johns Anglican Church Launceston Tasmania.

The gates commemorate Ernest Whitfeld, a former police magistrate and coroner in the colony of Tasmania who died in 1923.

Ernest Whitfeld was also a well-known historian and was meticulous in his research into the early settlement of Tasmania from 1803, and painstakingly recorded both verbal and written recollections from residents. These were the basis of a series of lectures he gave in 1897.

Going to Yeppoon for a week and deviated in Bajool Qld just south of Rockhampton Qld to find a cache and managed to pick up three locationless as well. Bajool was a sleepy little country town until the minerals boom and now people are starting to live here as infrastructure appears for a near by deep water port and coal loading facility. Spied these memorial gates on the showgrounds entrance in honor of a past resident of the area. TFTL CORUNNAROAD

All Saints Anglican Church
Sutton Forest, NSW

Open Sesame ..... nope nothing happening!

I was wondering where on earth I could find some memorial gates. Couldn't think of any. It surely pays to come and check out the cache page first, it was alive with ideas and got my foggy brain clear in no time. Now the ideas are running amok. Thanks for the locationless Corunnaroad.

The gates were installed at All Saints on 25th January, 1959 with a plaque listing the 16 governors who worshipped there. The iron gates were made at Sutton Forest and were erected at "Hill View", the country residence of New South Wales governors from 1879 to 1957. They consist of double carriage gates and two side gates with VR 1890 inscribed on the posts.

The entrance to Moama football ground is a memorial to Jack Eddy, local sportsman.
The previous entrance was on the corner, and now is much safer positioned here.

Tumbulgum Sports Field
The gates to the sports field record the names of all locals who have fought in WW1, WW2, and conflicts to present day.

They were first 'opened' in 1948, they were rededicated in 2007 when they had been modified to include the new tablet to commemorate those who had fought in conflicts since the world wars.

Thanks for the locationless.

I was in downtown Bowral today with the geohoney and spotted these gates while I was looking for a parking spot. Once the geomobile was parked, made my way over for a happy snap. TFTC corunnaroad

The Mueller Gates are at Vic Park in Echuca. For many years they remained locked. It's only in recent years the footy club decided to open them to allow more cars into the ground during games. Unfortunately the gates open on to the edge of our brigade "marshal" track and the constant traffic has killed off any lawn that did grow there. Now spectators to the brigade competitions have to stand on gravel and blue-metal rock.

Thanks Corunnaroad

James Henry Norman Price of the 15th and 42nd Battalions....Norm Price(World War 1 veteran) Memorial gate located at the Cleveland/Redlands Showground.
Lucky for me I took this photo as a just in case there is a locationless for this..haha yes there is!!! I took a lot of photos all around the showgrounds and the historical museum when driving past from the lighthouse virtual. Just snap away at anything and everything.
Norm Price, as he was known, was the eldest of 8 boys and 3 girls born to Henry John Price and Annie Price of Graceville. Norm was born in 1889 in Heywood, Victoria, however some time around 1905 the family moved to Queensland. Norm was among the first flood of recruits, enlisting on 20th October 1914. He was a 25 year old timber getter, employed in the Canungra area.

Norm joined the 15th Battalion as a private (regimental no. 640) , under the command of Lieutenant Colonel James Cannan who came from a well-known family from Chelmer, Brisbane. Three companies of the 15th Battalion travelled by train to Melbourne, where after more training, they boarded the troopship Borda on the 22nd December 1914 as part of the 4th Brigade. They arrived in Egypt in early February 1915 and began training for the Gallipoli campaign.

Found on our Wagga Wagga trip. While having lunch in a small memorial park in Wagga Wagga, we decided to take a photo of the memorial gate at the entrance of the park. It was dedicated to the Great War between 1914-1919 (well, the war ended in 1918 but the Treaty of Versailles was in 1919). When you went through, it was a memorial to all Wagga Wagga citizens who faught in all wars.

I made the 2.5hour drive north from home to have a go at two caches published on the 16th January 2014 and three weeks later still no logs on them. I fixed that little problem.

Mundubbera is located in the central Burnett region of Queensland inland from Bundaberg. Mundubbera turned out to be locationless heaven as I managed about fifteen in total in town as n one else has made a claim on them. These gates are at the entrance to a very well maintained park adjacent to the town swimming pool.

The plaque on the side post is inscribed " These gates have been erected to perpetuate the memory of the early pioneers of this district. Henry Stuart Russell 1843 Thomas Charles Archer 1848". There is also a lookout on the highest point of the town of Mundubbera to the west of the Cemedtry that is named after Thomas Archer. TFTC

I'm not particularly good at observing things for locationless caches once, but then I find the same one twice! And I couldn't resist. This is the Harold Gatty Memorial (and gate) at Campbelltown, Tasmania. Harold Gatty, amongst other pioneering achievements, was the navigator on the flight which set the record for a circumnavigation of the world in 1931 in the Winnie Mae. 8 days, 15 hrs. He was born in Campbelltown.

Memorial Gates up at the TCA cricket ground on the Domain in Hobart: the K.E. Burn Memorial Gates. Kenneth (Kenny) Burn lived in Hobart and played in the Australian cricket team in two tests in 1890, but was better known for his prolific scoring at club level in Tasmania in the late 1890's being Tasmania's best batsman at that time.

Driving through Avoca on our way to the east coast of Tassie and spotted these memorial gates. They are at the entrance to a park that contains the cenotaph, a playground, a picnic area and public facilities. The park appears to be very well used, at least as a stopping place by those travelling through town.

Hi corunnaroad
I found these Memorial Gates in the small hamlet of Glen Huon, Tasmania while waiting for Mum to finish her Church visit and devotionals yesterday.
Glen Huon is significant in my life; Mum was born there and as kids we spent a lot of time visiting the grand parents there too. We got dragged to a lot of cricket matches that were played here at the local sports ground and other activities held at the Glen Huon Memorial Hall right next to the Memorial Gates and Park.
I've placed a cache called "Ancestral Glen" in the park because of my association with this small country village.
Enough waffle now;
TFTC and the memories
Cheers OldSaint.

The Man-o-war gates were originally located at Circular Quay in Sydney and were donated by the Diamond family of Nundle to the RSL of Australia. They were refurbished and erected in Tamworth in 1996. The Australian Navy walked through these gates on their arrival and departure from Sydney for war and peace. We couldn't find any information on how they got to Tamworth though.

On our way to Hobart yesterday we had to go on line to find the coordinates of a new cache hidden near Deloraine. Mrs y’tassie noticed a new locationless - Memorial Gates - listed. Today on our way home we travelled via the Eastern shore to avoid the slow Saturday afternoon traffic out of Hobart on the Brooker Highway. As we came through Bridgewater Mr y’stassie thought he remembered that when he had gone looking for a cache in this area a couple of years ago the little remembrance park down by the Derwent River at Bridgewater had gates. We made a slight detour and there they were, World War I - World War II Memorial gates to Memorial Reserve. The arch above the gates reads Memorial Reserve and the granite plaque on the left hand side of the gates reads For Those Who Served 1914-1918 and the one on the right reads For Those Who Served 1939-1945. There are several memorial plaques in the reserve plus a flag pole. It is a lovely peaceful reserve very close to a busy Highway. Thanks corunnaroad for listing this cache
