The park is also home to the SievX Memorial which remembers the 146 children, 142 women and 65 men who died on the refugee boat SievX, in waters off the coast of Christmas Island in October 2001.  This was politically embarrassing for John Howard, & he subsequently refused permission for a memorial to be erected on the Federal side of Lake Burley Griffin, so the organisers of the memorial got permission from the ACT government. What stands now is a representation of the 353 dead - short for children & tall for adults - in the form of painted poles, decorated by one of 300 schools or community groups from around Australia.  In 2005, over 2000 Canberrans volunteered to help raise the poles in the curved pattern they are in today, representing water and the shape of a boat.
