![]() ![]() ![]() This is one of Sydney’s most interesting Art Deco buildings. Designed by Bruce Dellit, it was opened in 1934. It contains sculptures by an English-born migrant, Raynor Hoff. His beautiful interior statue called ‘Sacrifice’ depicts a group of three women supporting a dead soldier - the givers of life, weighed down by death. This is often interpreted as a powerful peace symbol, and at the time of building this memorial generated a lot of debate. The memorial contains no names, but 120,000 stars in the ceiling dome represent those from NSW who served. |
