RAAF Memorial Grove Canberra, Australia

The Dowty-Rotol propeller symbolises, according to the plaque, the Royal Australian Air Force’s operational and heritage links with the national capital, and the supporting structure reflects the strength of its people.

This propeller is located just off the Federal Highway near the ACT-NSW border, as you approach from the Sydney side (north). It’s in the Hughie Edwards VC (Victoria Cross) Rest Area, one of a series of rest areas along the Remembrance Driveway dotted along the Hume and Federal Highways between Sydney and Canberra.
