The Ballarat Avenue of Honour is significant as the earliest known memorial avenue to have been planted in Victoria.
The Avenue of Honour is located along the Ballarat Burrumbeet Road (former Western Highway) approximately 4 kilometres west of the Ballarat City Centre and is presently comprised of a total of 3,332 trees covering a distance of approximately 22km in length.
It begins at the Arch of Victory in Alfredton, runs westward to Lake Burrumbeet where it changes direction and heads north, crossing the Western Freeway Bypass and continuing along Avenue Road to Weatherboard Learmonth Road.
The Rotary Club of Wendouree Breakfast has as part of an ongoing project committed to running working bees to make an impact on cleaning up the Avenue of Honour.
