The Tarcutta Soldiers Memorial Hall Mural project

No matter when
No matter where
Or which uniform you wore If you came home
Or you gave your all
We will remember you

This podcast provides stories and information to supplement the new public artwork in Tarcutta NSW.

This mural was commissioned by the Tarcutta Community in partnership with the City of the Wagga Wagga and Eastern Riverina Arts

Sam Brooks, an Adelaide based artist, was selected to design a mural commemorating both the people of Tarcutta who have served in our nation’s conflicts. It also pays homage to the returned soldier settlers who were granted plots of land in the district.

The short historical stories give an insight into the lives of just some of the soldiers whose names are memorialised for their service.

Thanks to the hard working and dedicated community members of the Tarcutta Mural Committee whose vision and determination saw this project come to fruition. Thanks to Barbara Wheeler, Rhonda Shoemark for her poem, the Australian War Memorial, and Jillian and Wayne at Charles Sturt University Regional Archives.

The Tarcutta Mural Project is an Australian Government bushfire recovery initiative
