Chinchilla RSL Memorial (Digger)

This is the original digger from the Chinchilla War Memorial originally at Anzac Park. The digger was damaged and removed from the original base in 1977. It was renovated and relocated without it's original base to the RSL. A sandstone statue of an Australian infantryman with cocked hat and rifle, resting against a tree stump for support. The statue stands on part of the original 1919 pedestal: a sandstone block with crossed flags carved on the front face. This then rests on another larger sandstone block, which has a brass plaque on the street face. The memorial sits on a ground-level concrete base, and is surrounded by a metal railing.
