Yallaroi: Korean War Memorial and ANZAC Service

Yallaroi can be explored through two different forms of remembrance: the Korean War memorial plaque and the ANZAC service. These offer different starting points for planning your trip. The plaque’s present location is unknown; the service depends on the specific event and its host. If you choose Yallaroi for these reasons, distinguish between a particular memorial site and a community event tied to a specific date.

The Korean War memorial plaque

The Korean War memorial plaque honours people who served in the Korean War. It was presented to the Yallaroi community. Its current location is unknown; it was previously located in the former Yallaroi Community Hall on North Star Road, Yallaroi, New South Wales 2411. The former hall address is therefore a historical reference point, not a reliable address to visit today. If the plaque is a deciding factor in your trip, confirm its current location before basing your accommodation and day plans around it. This avoids mistaking a former location for a memorial site that can be visited today.

An ANZAC service with a rotating host

The 2021–2022 annual report describes a cycle of three ANZAC services per year. The Yallaroi, Croppa Creek and Crooble communities organised them together and took turns hosting. The place name alone therefore does not tell you where a particular service will be held. If you want to travel for an ANZAC service, check the date and host of the specific event before choosing your holiday rental. This lets you plan your stay around the occasion, rather than automatically assuming every service takes place in Yallaroi.

A dated example from 2026

The ANZAC service was scheduled to take place at Yallaroi Hall and Memorial Rock on 25 April 2026. That date has now passed, so this is a past programme item, not an upcoming event. The same programme included a 70-year commemoration of the settlement of war veterans in Yallaroi. This adds a local historical element to the theme of remembrance, distinct from the Korean War memorial plaque. The locations mentioned here were part of the planned programme for that date.

Which themes of remembrance shape your stay

The plaque commemorates people who served in the Korean War; the commemoration planned for 2026 referred to the settlement of war veterans. The ANZAC service, in turn, was described as part of a cycle involving all three communities and rotating venues. These differences can help you define your trip more precisely: are you mainly interested in a particular memorial site, or would you like to plan your stay around a specific service? Families can use the different themes as a starting point for a conversation. For concrete plans, however, the plaque’s current location or a future event date will be decisive. If these themes are the reason for your visit, compare them with your preferred travel dates and choose a holiday rental accordingly.
