The Powell Brothers Commemorative Trees, planted circa 1945, are historically significant for their symbolic association with World War II and the sacrifices made by the community. The tuckeroo (Cupaniopsis anarcardioides) trees were planted to honour Laurence and Lance Powell who were killed in action in World War II. The planting of memorial trees was a common way for families to create a personal memorial to their loved ones. The trees form a lineal arrangement along the median strip and are a highly visible and symbolic landmark along Garrick Street. They have a special association with the community as evidence of the profound effect that the War had on the community.
