Friends of Rookwood Military Tour

Join us for a moving journey through Rookwood's stories of courage and sacrifice. This tour honours the men and women who risked everything so we could live in freedom. You'll discover the resting places of war heroes from WWI and WWII, as well as firefighters and other service personnel whose bravery shaped our nation. 

We'll also share the inspiring tales of leaders who rose from humble beginnings, like the boilermaker who became Premier of NSW and countless everyday heroes whose extraordinary lives deserve to be remembered. 

Walk with us as we pay tribute to Rookwood's humble heroes and heroines and uncover the legacies that continue to inspire generations.
