Brisbane’s Eternal Flame relocated for refurb of the Shrine of Remembrance
The memorial is currently undergoing some work, which required the relocation the Eternal Flame to a park below to carry on with the restorations.
The Shrine of Remembrance is a major Brisbane landmark of historical importance for the city. It is located in ANZAC Square in the CBD, and it was built to commemorate the lives lost in the Great War of 1914-1918.
The memorial is currently undergoing some work, which required the relocation the Eternal Flame to a park below to carry on with the restorations.
Lord Mayor Graham Quirk says the place of commemoration has suffered significant water damage, and concrete slabs and stonework would be repaired. “We will be making sure that we make it structurally sound for the next 100 years,” Mr Quirk said.
The first stage will be completed before centenary commemorations to mark the Gallipoli landing, whilst CCTV continues to monitor the flame for vandals, who try to extinguish it.
