The Field of Light: Avenue of Honour is an immersive art installation created by internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro. Highlighting the region’s unique sense of place and identity, Field of Light: Avenue of Honour symbolises wild beauty, sacrifice, courage, hope and honour.

16,000 shining spheres line Albany's Avenue of Honour at Mount Clarence paying homage to the 41,000 troops who departed from Albany for the Great War. The 16,000 glass spheres have been planted along the avenue at Albany Heritage Park by local volunteers and they gently illuminate the tree lined path with an artwork blooming at night like wildflowers after rain of light.

Event dates:

4 OCTOBER 2018—28 APRIL 2019

Opening time: Sunset to 10:00pm daily*

Location: Albany Heritage Park Apex Drive, Mount Clarence, Albany, Western Australia, 6330

Whilst the experience is usually for pedestrians only, they will be holding three vehicle friendly nights over February and March 2019 to ensure visitors with limited mobility are also able to experience this installation. Only on these nights will cars and buses be able to drive along Apex Drive, through the Field of Light: Avenue of Honour.

Coinciding with the conclusion of Anzac Centenary commemorations, Field of Light: Avenue of Honour is an event not to be missed! For more info, visit https://www.fieldoflightalbany.com.au/
