Many other types of memorials, including avenues of trees, bells, plaques and obelisks were erected in Queensland following the Boer War.

Following World War I the practice of erecting monuments to the fallen soldiers became a major community concern and the rise of Australian nationality increased the fever with which these memorials were built during the inter-war period.

The unveiling of the Allora Boer War Memorial on 19 August 1904 proclaimed a public holiday in the district, was carried out by Colonel (later General and Sir) Harry Chauvel.

Memoirs written by him about his service in the Boer War indicate that he was interested in what he considered an English tradition of honouring fallen soldiers with memorials.

[1] The base and pedestal of the Boer Memorial was constructed by Mr J McCulloch of Warwick, to designs of WP Prout.

His arrival in Brisbane in 1903 was prompted by a commission for the sculpture on the Lands Administration Building, and shortly after this he carried out work for the Allora Boer Memorial.

[1] A third memorial to fallen soldiers of World War Two was constructed in the form of an obelisk, with sandstone base and marble shaft.

The memorial is surrounded by a low fence, consisting of evenly spaced bollards linked by steel rods.

These support a cornice with curved pediment detail above which on the southern side is carved ornament of foliated scrolls and a central anthemion element.

[1] The World War One Memorial, again constructed largely from smooth faced sandstone and marble, comprises a three-part pedestal on the central part of which sits an obelisk.

Small carved field guns are mounted on the side tops of the pedestal flanking the obelisk which rises from the centre.

Surmounted on this is the obelisk, of smooth faced sandstone; a tapering column with carved shields affixed to the north and south.

[1] The World War Two Memorial, which sits to the rear of the park is a simple obelisk, with a base of two sandstone steps surmounted by two white marble steps the upper one with a simple carved moulding at the top on which sits the tall tapering column of white marble on the south side of which a wreath and gun are carved.

[1] Boer War Memorial and Park was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.

The Memorial Park has special importance for the community commemorating local involvement in the major wars of this century.
