Places of Pride - Muradup war memorial
Before the Australian War Memorial was established as Australia’s national memorial during the Second World War, before it had been envisaged by Charles Bean during the First World War, memorials had been established by communities across Australia.
Places of Pride, the National Register of War Memorials, is an Australian War Memorial initiative to record the location and gather images of every publicly accessible memorial in Australia.
RSL sub-branches, community organisations, schools, and individuals are encouraged to record and upload their local memorials to the website.

Wall to Wall: Ride for Remembrance 2015
More than a thousand NSW Police officers will join their colleagues from across the country to honour fallen officers during an annual commemorative charity motorbike ride this weekend.
The Wall to Wall: Ride for Remembrance is an annual police memorial ride from across Australia to Canberra, which aims to commemorate the service and sacrifice of fallen Australian police, raise much-needed funds in support of fallen officers’ families and promote motorcycle safety.
The event is open to serving and retired members, both sworn and unsworn, and all other friends, family and proud supporters of policing.
NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione will lead the officers from Sydney to the National Police Memorial in Canberra tomorrow (Saturday 12 September 2015), where the NSW contingent will meet more than 2000 riders who have travelled from every police jurisdiction across Australia.
Sydney commemorations will begin with a ceremony at the NSW Police Wall of Remembrance at The Domain at 8am, providing an opportunity for the family and friends of fallen NSW police to collectively pay their respects.
Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart will also lead a contingent of Queensland Police officers who departed Brisbane on Wednesday (9 September 2015), and will join Commissioner Scipione for the commemorations in The Domain.
The group are expected to depart The Domain about 8.15am and be escorted along the Cahill Expressway and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge before travelling along the M2, M7 and Hume Motorway.
As the group travels south along the Hume Highway, they will be joined by other riders who commenced their journey from the Illawarra and Dubbo, before meeting at the NSW Police Force Academy at Goulburn.
Following the rest stop at Goulburn, the contingent will continue on their journey, where all groups will meet up with participants and representatives of other Australian Police Forces, on the outskirts of Canberra.
In a final gesture of police solidarity and remembrance, the ride travels through Canberra to the National Police Memorial for an afternoon ceremony to honour Australian police who have made the ultimate sacrifice, with their names represented on the touch stones of the memorial wall.
Commissioner Scipione said the ride is a special commemorative event, developed by mates to honour fallen colleagues.
“Wall to Wall began following a conversation between two police officers, and keen motorcyclists, who wished to pay homage to their fallen mates,” Commissioner Scipione said.
“It’s grown each year since its inception and offers an opportunity for the Australian policing family to come together to honour the sacrifice of fallen colleagues and reflect on the dedicated service of all officers.
“The annual event, now in its sixth year, not only commemorates the sacrifice and continued service of our officers to the community, but also raises much needed funds for charity,” Commissioner Scipione said.
“The ride begins at various locations across the Australia – each a sacred place of remembrance and reflection for police – where we collect a Wall to Wall baton to deliver to the National Police Memorial.”
During the ceremony in Canberra, the batons are presented by Commissioners (or delegate) of each of the nine policing jurisdictions, and the names on the inner scrolls are read out to honour officers who have lost their lives in the past year.
“Each year it is certainly our hope to remove a blank scroll from the baton and we are very thankful our NSW scroll will be blank this year,” Commissioner Scipione said.
“We will, however, take pause to remember the 252 officers who have lost their lives in service to the community throughout the 153 year history of the NSW Police Force.”
All funds raised during the Wall to Wall ride by the NSW contingent will go toward NSW Police Legacy.
NSW Police Legacy provides care and support to more than 20,000 serving and retired police officers and their families during times of tragedy and need.

National Police Rememberance day 2012
National Police Remembrance Day falls on the 29th day of September each year and affords police forces within Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and the Solomon Islands an opportunity to remember those officers who have sacrificed their lives in the course of their duties. The day also provides a time to remember police officers who have lost their lives through illness or other circumstances.
National Police Remembrance Day 2013
Every September, each state and territory police jurisdiction across Australia and the South West Pacific Region pays tribute to the officers who have lost their lives while on duty, marking National Police Remembrance Day.
The National Police Memorial was completed in 2006 and honours all Australian police killed on duty since 1803.
In 2013, the names of two police officers were added to the memorial's wall in Canberra.
Detective Inspector Bryson Charles Anderson of the New South Wales Police Force was fatally stabbed at a siege in Oakville, NSW, on 6 December 2012, in the course of his policing duties.
Constable Casey Blain of the Queensland Police Service died from injuries he sustained during a single vehicle crash on 29 March 2013 at Routh Creek, Georgetown, in the course of his policing duties.

Wall to Wall - Ride for Remembrance 2019
The Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance celebrates & remembers those Police officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, & given their lives on duty.
In 2009, two mates, both police officers and both keen motorcyclists, started a conversation over a beer or two. “How about we organise some mates to ride to Canberra and meet at our National Memorial?”
Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy from the NSW Police Force and Inspector Brian Rix of the Victorian Police had been motivated and inspired by the immense popularity of an American police motorcycle and charity event held in Austin, Texas.
Known as the “Ride for the Fallen”, the ride is a special tribute that honours the service and sacrifices of the many law enforcement officers killed in the service of Texas over its long and proud history.
Around the same time, a chance meeting with Western Australia Assistant Commissioner Steve Brown invariably turned into discussions of motorcycling and plans for Police Commissioner Karl O’Callaghan to lead a children’s charity ride across the country.
So a few phone calls later and with the much valued support and assistance of the Police Federation of Australia, a group of like minded police, serving and retired, were brought together to develop Australia’s own memorial ride.
With the National Police Memorial as a focal point and highlighting the positive image of police in the promotion of motorcycle safety and awareness, this has now become a much anticipated annual charity event in commemoration of the service and sacrifice of our police and for each of the State’s to raise much needed funds in support of their police charity organisations.
