My walk to the city centre bar where I was to watch the Spurs game took me through Sydney’s Hyde Park, at the bottom end of which is the ANZAC Memorial, currently being restored. Beyond the Memorial, I came upon this sculpture. I rarely get civic art but this one struck me immediately. Moreover, the message the sculptor was giving was immediately apparent to me, the spent, prone shell casings representing fallen soldiers. This work was installed to honour aboriginal soldiers who fell in the world wars, and very good it is too.
