This interchange is located at the junction of the M5, M7 and Remembrance Driveway. Sir Roden Cutler was the only Australian artilleryman awarded the Victoria Cross for his exceptional courage in WWII. The interchange’s landmark structure is the 25 metre high pyramid-shaped landform, the red tip of which is lit at night with a blue LED light to mark the southern end of the M7 in the landscape.
