John Leak monument

The John Leak Monument is located off Huish Drive, in Victoria Park, Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.

Unveiled on 20 April 2012, the monument represents the contribution made by John Leak VC, the first Queenslander to be awarded a Victoria Cross.

The monument features local iconography with connections to the Archer Ranges, representing the City of Rockhampton, in addition to links to imagery related to the ANZAC campaign such as the red poppy which became an international symbol of remembrance.
