Whataroa Second World War memorial

Whataroa Second World War memorial

Outside the RSA, on the main street of Whataroa, is a simple slab commemorating the end of the Second World War. The slab has been cut from blue kyanite schist - a unique rock type found only as boulders in Jacobs River.

I understand that there are memorials inside the RSA building, but was unable to see them.
