Position on map:

The Coolangatta Anzac Memorial, erected in 1926, demonstrates a symbolic association with World War 1 and reflects the community’s patriotism and nationalism. The memorial demonstrates the principal characteristics of a World War 1 commemorative structure. It is evidence of the social custom of representing the human sacrifice made during the Great War and remembering those that served. Positioned at the entrance to Queen Elizabeth Park, the memorial is a highly visible, well-known and symbolic landmark in Coolangatta. The memorial has a strong association with the local community as evidence of the profound effect that the Great War had on the community. The memorial is indicative of World War I commemorative structures and is associated with the work of monumental masonry firm, A.L. Petrie and Son, at that time the largest masonry firm in Queensland and who were responsible for many First World War memorials both on the Gold Coast and throughout the state.
