PODCAST – THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE – KINGSTON AVENUE OF HONOUR

Many thanks to David Hill from the Thanks For Your Service podcast, who came out to the Avenue of Honour at Kingston late in 2025 to speak to our President Julie Baulch and Treasurer/Communications Leah Armstrong. It was a windy day, but a wonderful opportunity to share our Avenue, its history, and some stories of the people represented.

You can listen to our podcast episode at the below link (ours is Podcast 85):

WESTERN RENEWABLES LINK PRESENTATION
On Monday 2 February, Kingston Friends of the Avenue presented our response to the Inquiry & Advisory committee on the Western Renewable Link’s proposed route to the north of the township of Kingston. We shared our concerns about the proposed use of the Avenue for numerous heavy vehicles while the transmission lines and concrete bases are being constructed, and the potential safety and psychological impact on visitors to the Avenue. We also shared a projection of how the proposed transmission lines might look from near the corner of Kingston Road and Victoria Road, not far from the 1927 Cenotaph where we hold our Commemorative Services.
