National WWII Coastwatchers Memorial and Gazebo

DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF THE AUSTRALIAN COASTWATCHERS IN WORLD WAR II 

WITH COURAGE AND SACRIFICE, THEY HID IN THE JUNGLE AND SPIED ON ENEMY AIRCRAFT, SHIPS AND TROOPS. 

SUPPORTED BY LOCAL PEOPLE THE COASTWATCHERS TRANSMITTED CODED WARNINGS BY TELERADIO WHICH WERE VITAL FOR ALLIED SUCCESS. 

THEY RESCUED MANY CIVILIANS AND SERVICE PERSONNEL, INCLUDING FUTURE US PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY. 

‘THE COASTWATCHERS SAVED GUADALCANAL AND GUADALCANAL SAVED THE SOUTH PACIFIC.’ 

US FLEET ADMIRAL, WILLIAM HALSEY Jr. 1943
