Geraldton War Memorial in Western Australia

This war memorial comemmorates the 745 sailors lost when the HMAS Sydney was sunk off Shark Bay during WWII.

The dome is comprised of gulls, and rests on seven pillars that represent the seven states of Australia. In the memorial garden, a bronze statue of a woman keeps watch over the pool below, symbolizing the women who watch and wait in wartime. Here visitors can visit and contemplate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
