The result of the meeting, and a few extra steps in-between, was a mass gathering of over 1000 people on Saturday 10 August 1918. At the sound of the bugle all 281 Avenue trees were planted simultaneously creating one of the longest Avenue\u2019s of Honour in Victoria at nearly three kilometres. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Elms were selected as the preferred deciduous tree species following a request by the Country Roads Board at the time who did not want to see the road constantly damp in winter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Iris Roberts, Secretary of today\u2019s Bacchus Marsh RSL said the Avenue is an honour to those who served and died in WWI for this country. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u201cIt serves to keep their memory alive for their families and future generations. The Avenue is the second largest in Victoria and a wonderful entrance to the township of Bacchus Marsh,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Fast forward to today, and both locals and visitors continue to find themselves drawn to the majesty, serenity and wonder of the Avenue, much as children are captivated by the world of Enid Blyton\u2019s Magic Faraway Tree. Many locals have anecdotally shared the feeling of having a weight lifted off their shoulders as they exit the Western Highway and sight the Avenue, knowing they have arrived home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Barb McMillan in her second year as President of Bacchus Marsh Historical Society said the Avenue forms part of the history of Bacchus Marsh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u201cIt also represents the camaraderie between the people who saw it as a wonderful way to honour those who fought for our country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ms McMillan also shared another notable accolade for the Avenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u201cThe 281 Elms that line the Bacchus Marsh Avenue of Honour were collectively named Victorian Tree of the Year by the National Trust in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u201cThe victory reflects the community\u2019s passion and willingness to protect this cultural landmark and living war memorial.\u2019\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Avenue of Honour turned the grand old age of 105 years old on 10 August. With a fast- growing local population, it can only be hoped that all residents sincerely wished this formidable beauty many happy returns of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tina Seirlis It must have been a project like no other and absolutely marvellous to witness, the planting of the heritage listed Avenue of Honour in Bacchus Marsh.
