Clayton Barr MP, member for the NSW electorate of Cessnock, has praised the efforts of Towns with Heart and the Coalfields History Association for their moving Anzac Day tribute. The Field of Honour will be on display at Kurri Kurri Cemetery, local memorial gardens and walls, and Rotary Park, with each resting place for a returned veteran marked with a flag.
In addition to the Field of Honour, the River of Poppies will be on display at Col Brown Rotary Park, flowing down from the big Kookaburra. More than 3000 poppies, representing every member of the defence forces who enlisted from the Kurri Kurri district, have been knitted or crocheted by local craftspeople.
