The Mount Druitt Waterholes Remembrance Garden is a circuit walk starting from the car park off Ropes Creek Road, Mount Druitt. Established to monumentalise the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, this garden holds multiple individual monuments and plaques, notably Private John (Barney) Hines Memorial and Mt Druitt and Colyton First World War Roll of Honour. The path is wheelchair accessible, with water taps and picnic tables throughout. Visitors can explore the garden and its heritage features, such as a sizable slate rock and plaque honouring the 50th anniversary of the war's end and a separate plaque commemorating the 60th anniversary. Towards the rear, symbolic representations of the three services—anchor, howitzer gun, and propeller—stand alongside a black marble plaque on a plinth. The whole track is easy and smooth, with a flat path. There is a playground and toilet located near the start. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
