The memorial commemorates those serving with the Royal Australian Navy throughout its

history including during the First World War, the Second World War, the Malayan Emergency

and Korean and the Vietnam and Gulf wars. Designed by Ante Dabro in collaboration with Lester Firth and Associates and Robin Woodward, the memorial comprises bronze figures that represent the daily activities of naval life. Moving water complements the dynamics of the sculpture.

Australian Hellenic Memorial (1988)

The memorial commemorates those who died in campaigns in Greece and Crete (1941). Designed by architects Ancher, Mortlock and Woolley Pty Ltd, the marble memorial evokes an amphitheatre set in an olive grove.

The wall has inscriptions that recall political and military events and an etched photograph shows Australian troops waiting to be airlifted to Nui Dat, after Operation Ulmarrah.

Surrounding the memorial are six empty seats dedicated to the six servicemen missing in action.

Australian Service Nurses Memorial (1999)
The memorial honours past and present service nurses, who have cared for the sick and wounded since the South African War. Designed by Robin Moorhouse, in conjunction with Monumental Design, the memorial is made of etched glass, with text and images cast into the inner walls that portray the history and contribution of Australian
