Great place . Staff was amazing x👍👍👍
Monbulk RSL is now home to the Honouring Our Younger Veterans Project Australia displays. A total of 10 displays dedicated to the men and women of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) who served on more recent theatres of operations such as The Solomon Islands, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan from 1999 to the present day. Though the Sub Branch operates on limited hours, it is worth seeing the displays and viewings can be arranged out of hours by contacting the Sub Branch through details listed on their FB page - Monbulk RSL. Whilst in the area, continue on to RSL Upwey Belgrave to view an additional 8 displays homed there. A truly unique experience in Melbourne for all military enthusiasts or those wishing to learn about important military history.
We were driving through and had to stop for this. What a great way to acknowledge ANZAC and our military. The ladies advised us that the local flower growers and local families support this with their donations. Talk about respect and pride.
