Diggers Avenue, Condobolin

At a meeting of the Condobolin Municipal Council on 13 August 1920, it was resolved, on the motion of Aldermen Maitland and Black, that the Condobolin War Memorial Committee be granted permission to plant peppercorn trees on both sides of the road from the Lachlan River Bridge to the Forbes Road turnoff. It was further decided the plantation be named 'Diggers Avenue'. During the time of the First World War, enlistments from Condobolin and district included three nursing sisters, and 66 young men lost their lives. It was considered an avenue of trees would stand as a living memorial to their service and supreme sacrifice.

Over the years some of the original peppercorn trees have had to be replanted, but many of the originals are still there as a tribute.

Diggers Avenue is located along The Gipps Way, near the intersection with the Lachlan Valley Way.
