Latrobe is very proud of the contributions made by locals to the various war efforts, none more so than Edward "Teddy" Sheean. The memorial depicts "Teddy's" life as well as his final hours on HMAS Armidale and is also the starting point of "Sheean Walk".
The Edward "Teddy" Sheean memorial was officially opened on 12th December, 1992.
Sheean Walkway starts in the main street of Latrobe, at "Teddy Sheean Memorial", then follows the old railway line to the River Road junction, at Bell's Parade.
Sheean Walk has a number of plaques detailing the various conflicts of World War II and pays homage to those involved in the Malaya, Borneo, Vietnam and Korean conflicts.
