Photograph at the Memorial Memorial

The Anzac Memorial in Sydney's Hyde Park stands as a significant tribute to the sacrifices of the Australian Imperial Force in the First World War. This Art Deco structure, designed by C. Bruce Dellit and featuring striking sculptures by Rayner Hoff, was erected between 1932 and 1934. Its exterior is richly decorated with monumental reliefs and sculptures, reflecting the gravity of its purpose. The memorial was built following fundraising efforts that began on the first anniversary of the Anzac landing at Gallipoli. It serves as a central site for remembrance ceremonies, particularly on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day, drawing people together to honour those who served. The memorial has undergone significant refurbishments and expansion, reopening in 2018 following extensive work.
