This activation took place in the Belair National Park. As a memorial to Australian and American Allied Forces who served in World War 2 and Korea, an avenue of giant Sequoias redwood trees was planted in 1962. The memorial had been accessible only via a remote fire track, until a joint venture with the Blackwood & District RSL built a bridge and track to the site, and unveiled a memorial plaque in 2008.
