The park will be reminiscent of Luscombe Bowl in Nui Dat where artists such as Little Pattie, Lorrae Desmond and Col Joye performed for the Australian troops during the war.

The President of the Murray Border Vietnam Veterans Association Gary Treeve said he was attempting to get veterans on board to help fund the construction of the park.

“I’m trying to get everyone to buy their own pavers that will be placed along the walk through the park,” he said.

“If all the Border veterans come on board we’ll be able to get some more money together.”

These brick pavers will cost veterans $50 each and veterans are encouraged to add the names of husbands and wives.

Mr Treeve said allowing veterans to purchase the pavers will give a sense of ownership over the commemorative park.

The 62,100 names of those who served will line the walk, etched into stainless steel.

The walk will be a way to remember Australians who served in Vietnam, as well as an attraction at Seymour.

“I think it’s absolutely magnificent,” Mr Treeve said.

“It is a great thing for Seymour and for the Vietnam veteran community.”

The land was donated by the Mitchell Council in the hope a nationally significant attraction would bring visitors.

With Puckapunyal military camp nearby, the walk will represent the history of the region.

It is planned that the walk will open on August 18.
