Memorials Honouring Victorian Heroes

Euroa is the only area in the entire Commonwealth to have been home to three Victoria Cross (VC Recipients).

Euroa is the kind of town that proudly wears its military history on its sleeve. People talk about it down the beautiful tree lined streets, and now thanks to an amazing community initiative spanning over five years of fundraising, you can now read about it for yourself.

Three bronze statues, immortalising the bravery of Victoria Cross recipients, Fred Tubb, Alex Burton and Leslie Maygar stand in pride of place - overlooking the beautiful and scenic Seven Creeks in Euroa.

On the outskirts of town in Longwood, a monument and cannon were erected to commemorate those from the area who served during the Boer War and to the two men from Longwood who died in the conflict. Private Louis Bond died on 12 June, 1901 at Wilmansruston, and Private Frederick Jeffreys died on 1 May, 1902 at Pine Town.
