Poppy Street Signs
As you make your way around the City of Cockburn, you will notice poppies have begun to bloom on street name signs.
Each of these marks the name of a Cockburn local who served in the armed forces in a war or peace keeping related activity, or a
commemorative event. Behind each name is also the story of a local family, many of whose lives were forever changed by events on the other side of the world.
For a list of all street names that have wartime significance, visit the Poppy street signs page on the City of Cockburn website.
Interpretive signage
There are currently three individual interpretive signs in Cockburn, complementary to the poppy street signs, providing three separate stories of life in Cockburn during wartime. These are located outside Cockburn ARC, Cockburn Central, Memorial Hall, Hamilton Hill and Botany Reserve, Hammond Park.
For the text and images of the interpretive signs, visit the
Poppy street signs page on the Cockburn Libraries website.
