Jack's Gully Anzac Park


“Jack’s Gully”
"Pause at this corner of Anzac Park and enjoy ten years’ work by Ansis Paul (Jack) KALNINS, who was born in Riga, Latvia, 17 May 1921 and died in Brisbane 21 December 1998. From his own slender resources, and single handedly, Jack planted and tended countless native trees and shrubs in this area between 1989 and 1998. A meeting of his friends placed his ashes here, as he wished. On Sunday 31 January 1999. If you are seeking Jack’s memorial it is all around you."

  1. True ANZAC spirit – to sit in the shade under trees of your Grandparents & plant trees you will never see mature for the shade of your grandchildren.
