St Kilda Foreshore, St Kilda
Participants joined local historian Maureen Walker for an early evening walk around the St Kilda foreshore to learn how St Kilda celebrated the end of World War I and how local veterans were welcomed home.
The walk explored the significance and scale of fundraising and the ways in which the local community supported veterans and their families. It also examined the history of St Kilda's Memorial Hall.
The walk included the Memorial Cenotaph, St Kilda Pier, Luna Park, Memorial Hall and other locations associated with the period.
