  • ANZAC Memorial Visit
    ANZAC Memorial Hyde Park June 2013 On Thursday 27th June the Scouts from 1st Ermington had the opportunity to visit the ANAZ Memorial at Hyde Park in the city. We caught the train from Eastwood station for the journey into Sydney - alighting from the train at Town Hall station. Fortunately the weather was kind and we had a nice walk up to the memo- rial through Hyde park. Although it was early evening and dark the memo- rial looked terrific. The curator for the evening introduced himself to the troop and there was much interest in his background as he was both a Vietnam veteran and a former scout. The evening started with a short video and the scouts were surprised at the footage of the opening because at the time the memorial was the tallest building in the city and the opening was attending by 100,000 people. We were given a tour of the different parts of the memorial (inside and out). Learning about the different parts of the memorial was extremely in- teresting. The Scouts were invited to release a Commemorative star representing an Australian service man or woman killed while serving their country or since deceased - a very humbling experience Another highlight of the evening was the Scouts being able to see a banner signed by Baden Powell. We departed the memorial at 8:20 for our return trip, arriving back into Eastwood at 9:10pm. A big thank you to the Scouts and Leaders that were able to participate in this activity. The ANZAC War Memorial, completed in 1934, is the main commemorative military monument of Sydney, Australia.

  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g.

  • Anzac Memorial Considered for State Heritage Listing
    3 March, 2010 ANZAC MEMORIAL CONSIDERED FOR STATE HERITAGE LISTING The ANZAC Memorial in Sydney’s Hyde Park is to be considered for listing on the State Heritage Register. Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly, said since its completion in 1934, the iconic building had been an important place of commemoration, especially on ANZAC Day. “As well as being a monument to the sacrifices of Australian servicemen and women, the ANZAC Memorial building has long been considered one of Australia’s greatest works of public art,” the Minister said. “The result of a creative collaboration between architect Bruce Dellit and sculptor Rayner Hoff, the ANZAC Memorial is arguably the finest expression of Art Deco monumentality in Australia. “It’s also closely linked to the landing of Australian troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, with fundraising for the memorial established on the first anniversary of the landing.” The building is associated with returned servicemen and women and their various organisations, including the RSL, which lobbied for the erection of the monument and occupied offices within it. Mr Kelly said the memorial represents NSW’s contribution to the group of national war memorials developed by each State capital during the inter-war period. “As a result, its heritage importance has a number of different dimensions including historical, aesthetic and social significance, and should it be considered for the State’s highest form of heritage protection,” the Minister said. The proposed listing, which follows the Government’s recent listing of three other iconic Sydney buildings – the Sydney Town Hall, the Queen Victoria Building and Luna Park – will be exhibited for public comment until Monday, March 22.

  • NORTH SYDNEY ANZAC MEMORIAL CLUB the BEGINNING /1774- (T,Y AIM"R
    NORTH SYDNEY ANZAC MEMORIAL CLUB THE BEGINNING /1774- (T,Y AIM"r (As recorded by the Hon. Sir John Cramer, Patron) Notwithstanding the other activities, the outstanding achievement whilst I was Mayor, was the construction of the Anzac Memorial Hall opposite the Cammeray Golf Course at North Sydney. I found a pile of files two feet high in the records of the Council, dealing with this matter. It appeared that after the First World War, a movement commenced at North Sydney to build a Hall to commemorate Anzac. A large amount of money was raised and a Trust established, the leading figure was the then State Member for North Sydney, Dugald Thompson. Other important Trustees of the Fund were Tom V. Roberts and Dr. Sam J. Moreau. When Dugald Thompson passed away, there were great disagreements in the Committee and Trustees and the general body of Ex-Servicemen. Although a site for the Hall had been selected in Carlow Street, North Sydney, the objective never came to fruition and the Hall was never built. Although there was great public disappointment, and legal action was threatened on a number of occasions, the disputes could never be settled, and in the end, the money raised was invested in Commonwealth Bonds, and deposited by the surviving Trustees in the Safe Deposit Vaults in the Commonwealth Bank in Martin Place, Sydney. Unfortunately, these remaining Trustees, Tom Roberts and Dr. Moreau had bitter differences and were not on speaking terms. The files show that on a number of occasions, representations had been made to the Council through the then Mayor to try to resolve the dispute, but despite this effort, no conclusion was reached.

Competition (1911-12) Project 1914. Digital Reconstruction by Craig McCormack. Courtesy: felix. Description At the heart of their international competition winning scheme for Canberra, the American architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin did not place a house of parliament as is the case now in the realised national capital. Instead they placed an archives building to contain the culture of the Australian people. Conceived as a pyramidal ziggurat of decidedly non-Western origin, this temple of culture foreshadowed the desires of the nation to create an inclusive yet global architecture for an ambitious and modern multicultural Australia.

Competition entry 1930. Digital Reconstruction by Tim Mettam, Elliot Lind and Leo Showell. Courtesy: felix. Description A dramatic and futuristic design for a memorial to commemorate Australians who had fallen in the Great War, Sydney architect Raymond McGrath and sculptor Maurice Lambert’s proposal was for a huge reinforced concrete sculptural form that would shoot a beam of light vertically into the night sky. McGrath had just recently moved to England and would soon become one of England’s most visible champions of modernism, not just for his sleek interior designs for the BBC’s Broadcast House but also his best-selling modernist primer, Twentieth Century Houses (1934).

  • Anzac Memorial Centenary Project
    Anzac Memorial Centenary Project Medium Project ACSE Awards 2019 1. Introduction The Anzac War Memorial is a landmark building located at the southern end of Hyde Park, Sydney. The original building completed in 1934, is a concrete structure, clad in stone, designed by Charles Bruce Dellit.

The redevelopment enhances the Memorial serving as a focal point for future generations to learn about our Anzac legacy and Australia’s war history. The new underground facilities include education and exhibition areas organized around a new central chamber, the “Hall of Service”, visually Project Credit connected to the Memorial through an open oculus. A new stair flanked by Client inclined lifts connects the new underground spaces with the existing ground The Trustees of the Anzac Memorial floor.
