Commemorations in OAWG Gardens of Remembrance
Tasmania
There are two OAWG Gardens of Remembrance in Tasmania: at Hobart, situated within the Cornelian Bay Cemetery, Queen's Walk, Hobart; and at Launceston within the Carr Villa Cemetery, Quarantine Road, King's Meadow. These Gardens were constructed in the early 1960s and together have a total plaque capacity of 8,700.

The Hobart Garden of Remembrance is accessed through an archway in the entry building. The plaque walls are located on each side of a grassed area. During spring, summer and autumn the Garden is ablaze with colour from the flower beds.
