Includes bibliographical references. "It may surprise some that this publication, which presents itself as a memorial to peace, could come from the Monaro tableland region. For this south-eastern part of New South Wales is home to Australia's oldest war memorial structures (remembering those killed in the Boer War: in Queanbeyan, erected in 1903, complete with gas carriage light; and in Goulburn, erected in 1904). The region is also home to the nation's grandest remembrance structure in Canberra's Australian War Memorial. In a country that b oasts building more war memorial plinths per head of population than any other, it is an uphill struggle to seriously engage on possibilities of peace in place of resort to war. Hard, in fact to simply say: let us not forget the past while we build peace as our future. The Monaro has potency for indigenous peoples from its mountains and limestone plains to the sea ? with a vast stretch from alps to coast and the most extreme mainland climate variations, As home to the Snowy Mountains and the Riverina, it has also provided potent inspiration for walkers, bikers, writers arts and crafts people. No surprise then that |
