The oral history outlines the decision by the Remembrance Driveway Committee to honour the Australians who were awarded the Victoria Cross for acts of valour and extraordinary personal courage during the Second World War and Vietnam, by establishing roadside rest areas and memorial parks along the route in their honour.

The oral history is based on 38 hours of digitally recorded interviews with 19 individuals - current and former members of the Remembrance Driveway Committee, local historians, landscape designers and an eminent military historian who provide background information on the circumstances surrounding the gallant actions of each of the 24 VC recipients.

A 3-CD compilation set is available from the Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority) Library at a cost of A$15 plus postage and handling. Orders may also be placed by fax to Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority) Library on 61 2 8849 2488. Researchers and historians wishing to access the source interview tapes and associated logs can contact Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority) Library by phone on 61 2 8849 2913 or email Library@rta.nsw.gov.
