ANZAC Memorial Walk
April 25th 2015 – Anzac Memorial WalkPeople experienced Anzac Day along the Newcastle Anzac Memorial Walk for the very first time – delivering a mixture of beauty, achievement, appreciation and genuine heartfelt emotion. We felt it very important to take the initiative of capturing this significant moment in Newcastle and the Hunter Region’s history.This video is proudly dedicated to all who served and are serving from Newcastle and the Hunter.

On April 25, 2015 ANZAC memorial walk in Newcastle, NSW was opened to the public. The $4.5 million project was completed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing in Gallipoli during World War I.
SLS Group was a supplier for the project and is very proud of the work completed by our profiling department.
Construction of walkway began last September and boasts a 450 metre walkway that offers 360° views of the coastline and city. Along the walkway there are a series of interpretive panels that incorporate the surnames of the 3859 servicemen that enlisted from the Hunter during the Great War, chronology of battles they were involved in, and other stories about Naval, Military, Aviation, Light Horse and Nursing Services during WWI.
The walkway, which uses 74 tonnes of stainless steel, runs from Strzelecki lookout to the Water Board reservoir at Bar Beach and showcases the local skills of the Hunter Valley.
SLS supplied, cut and folded the mild and stainless steel for the featured silhouettes and interpretive signs as shown in the photos below.
