Carlton, war memorial

The Kogarah war memorial is located beside Jubilee Oval in the southern suburb of Carlton. It was established in 1919 and dedicated to the Naval and Army Corps involved in World War 1. It was originally located on Gray Street at nearby Kogarah but was moved to this reserve to accomodate a wider road there. Tomorrow is Anzac Day, which is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, commemorating those who served and died for their countries.

Carlton, St George Dragons

It's Autumn and the rubgy league football season has just begun. I thought I'd share a couple of landmarks associated with my NRL football team, the St George Illawarra Dragons. St George Dragons have a long tradition in the competition since 1921. They merged with a newer team, the Illawarra Steelers back in 1998. Their Sydney homeground stadium is at Jubilee Oval in Carlton, which features a Walk of Fame (left) at the entrance. Just down the road on the Princes Highway in Beverley Park is the St George Leagues Club (right).
