Thousands of poppies on display as community project grows

Handmade poppies created by the Vincent community are on display outside the City of Vincent Administration Building ahead of Remembrance Day.

The Poppy Project has grown into a much-loved community tribute over the past three years. It brings together local schools, sporting clubs, community groups and residents to honour those who served in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

Each year, people of all ages contribute handmade poppies, with schools and community groups often working together on their own creations. Some residents have even taken the project into their own hands, creating displays outside their homes.

Each poppy has been made by hand, with its own story and meaning. Together, they form a striking display and a reminder of the service and sacrifice of Australian service personnel. Purple poppies are also included to recognise the animals who served alongside our armed forces.

We're grateful to everyone who has contributed to this year's project. We hope to see the Poppy Project continue to grow, with more residents, schools, clubs and community groups creating their own displays in years to come.

The display is outside the City of Vincent Administration Building and will remain in place until after Remembrance Day.

Lest we forget.
