ABOUT THIS IMAGE

TitleGerman mine, Tewantin RSL Memorial Park, Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin Additional InformationThe Tewantin R.S.L. Memorial Park was opened in Gooloi Street (now Poinciana Avenue) on Anzac Day 1922. The sphere shaped mine was recovered and defused at Sunshine Beach during World War II. It was one of two mines relocated to the park. The other, oval shaped mine was recovered from Teewah Beach after World War I. Both mines are thought to be of German origin, though American and Japanese mines have also been found on beaches in Queensland. The mines were laid at various locations during the war and often travelled long distances after they broke loose from their moorings.DateDate UnknownImage NoM856800
