'Memorial information: Dedicated 15th August 1995. ...War memorial for units that served in World War II. It is located in the Rocky Creek Memorial Park in Tolga (Far North Queensland). 'Memorial information: Dedicated 15th August 1995. The Memorial Park is a unique design of individual plaques, set amongst the trees and located along the lines of the original locations of units stations at the Rocky Creek Medical and other facilities during the Second World War. Built on the old camp site of the Convalescent Depot of the 2/2nd Australian General Hospital, where thousands received treatment in 1942-1945. Atherton Shire Council supplies plaques and a local businessman supplies boulders. In 1997 there were 3 plaques and by August 2000 there were 36. The numbers will have increased since these figures. The park has been chosen as the appropriate location due to the cultural, spiritual, historical and sentimental value to the local community. Several Army Divisions camped on the Atherton Tablelands during 1942-45. Approximately 60,000 Australian soldiers were treated for war related conditions at these hospitals, by a caring and efficient staff of approximately 2,000. Many were rehabilitated at the adjoining 2/1 Convalescence Depot. The complex was recognised as the largest military hospital in the Southern Hemisphere.'
