Partially Accessible Museum & Gallery In St John The Baptist ChurchNational Boer War Memorial
The National Boer War Memorial can be found on Anzac Parade accessed via paved level pathway approach.
The memorial of 1.5 life size bronze horses and riders sculptures are dedicated to those Australians who volunteered and fought in the nation's first war.
The two large, copper clad walls emerge from the surrounding landscape to define the memorial space. The walls are aligned to the dominant parallel geometry of Anzac Parade to create a simple yet strong framing of the memorial.
The different heights of the walls reflect their different functions; the higher back wall is a backdrop to the bronze sculptures, and the lower front wall frames the ceremonial forecourt while allowing interpretation to be read along its top. The faces of each wall will be a composite of several large, hand-forged copper sheets, joined with rivets and finished in a green copper patina.
Accessible parking can be found at Car park 64 on Parkes Way, accessible bathrooms on Parkes Way, Reid, Glebe & Kings Park.
