    Hobbs Artillery Park Memorial    
         
         

Situated at Karrakatta, Western Australia, in Irwin Barracks, the Hobbs Artillery Park Memorial is dedicated to all Australian Gunners, past, present and serving, and was officially dedicated on ANZAC Day 2004.

The Memorial is a curved sandstone wall with a centre inlay of Italian marble taken from the former home of Lieutenant General Sir Talbot Hobbs (a Western Australia Militia gunner who commanded the Australian Artillery at Gallipoli in 1915 and was later the GOC Australian Corps). The wall, displaying the Regimental badge and the wordings Royal Australian Artillery and Lest We Forget, along with seven plaques representing Western Australian Artillery units and associations, and two descriptive plaques, is topped by a pyramid of 14 small cannon balls. 

In front of the Memorial is a yard-armed flagpole from which the Australian National Flag and the Regimental Flag are flown.
