Oral history of Remembrance Driveway

The oral history outlines the decision by the Remembrance Driveway Committee to honour the Australians who were awarded the Victoria Cross for acts of valour and extraordinary personal courage during the Second World War and Vietnam, by establishing roadside rest areas and memorial parks along the route in their honour.

The oral history of The Remembrance Driveway is based on 38 hours of digitally recorded interviews with 19 individuals, including current and former members of the Remembrance Driveway Council, local historians, landscape designers and an eminent military historian who provides background information on the circumstances surrounding the gallant actions of each of the 24 VC recipients.
