Minister for Veterans’ Affairs visits the Perth War Cemetery

Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Matt Keogh recently visited the Perth War Cemetery, where he met with staff from the Office of Australian War Graves.

The Perth War Cemetery in Karrakatta contains 515 war graves from the First World War, Second World War and the Vietnam War.   

Deputy Operations Manager, Elena Mustard, took up horticulture after high school and has been serving in the Royal Australian Air Force as a reservist for 18 years.   

‘I was able to merge my Defence, admin and horticulture all together and find a really loving job through the Office of Australian War graves,’ she said.
