anzac memorial

A couple of archive pics at the opening of the ANZAC memorial in Hyde Park.

The road going off to the right is Oxford St. The buildings around the park here are now all high rises.

In our progressive multicultural paradise it's become necessary for the Memorial to place signs advising people not to sit on the stairs, and that it's an offense under some act. It's up to the state to give us our cues, apparently, why should these things be commonly understood? Still, I think I'd rather have people sitting than the signs.

As further indication of our progressive multicultural paradise, the Memorial now has security barriers and cameras around it after hours to ward off the tribes of little vandals that kept desecrating it.
