The 100 metre long Eurack Avenue of Honour commemorates only the first 26 soldiers from the district who enlisted by 1916. A memorial board in the Eurack Recreational Hall honours others who enlisted later.
Each tree is marked with a painted concrete cross, which replaced original wooden crosses, and bears the name of the soldier, or soldiers, it commemorates, whether they returned or not.
The Eurack Avenue of Honour is the earliest known Avenue of Honour to be planted in Victoria.
