Situated near the southern end of Hyde Park and centered upon the main avenue, the ANZAC Memorial stands one hundred feet high. On its main approach is the ‘Lake of Reflections’, bordered by poplar trees in memory of the battle areas of France.
The memorial was completed in 1934, and is an impressive art deco structure dedicated to the achievement of the Australian Imperial Forces. The structure is ornately decorated with sculptures by Raynor Hoff. The central motif is entitled ‘The Sacrifice’ comprising a bronze group of sculptures. The figures depict a young warrior who has made the supreme sacrifice; his naked body lies upon a shield which is supported by three women - his Mother, Wife and Sister. In the arms of one is a child, the future generations for whom the sacrifice has been made.
