    Not a fancy name F10 just my take on the matter and what they represent to me.
    I will never forget that in 1914 Australiaicon was a fledgling country of some 5 million souls notwithstanding our wounded the 60,000 KIA touched many families across the land the same may be said of the Boer war and WWII still a small nation.
    Even now in 2023 we have only a population of 26,439,111 million people some cities in the world have that population alone !

    So I jumped at the chance to document and share with the wider community some of the monuments what we found in our short travels if you google Western Australia's land mass you'll see its bigger than some European countries it would take years to go around getting them all.

    (Western Australia's land mass 2.646 million km², Italyicon's 302,073 km², Germanyicon's 357,592 km², United Kingdomicon 243,610 km²,
    Switzerlandicon 41,285 km², U.S.iconA 9,826,675 km2 so West Au makes up 26.92% the landmass of the entire U.S.A.)

    A question was asked and I attempted to answer it. I wasn't aware that anyone had come up with a name for the laser cut bits of steel springing up all over the place.
