The sculpture of a Koala (Little Digger) is a symbol of the centenary of ANZAC 2014 -2018. It also reflects the partnership between Currumbin RSL and Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Foundation.

The Centenary of Anzac 2014 to 2018 was an important period of national commemoration for Australia. Marking 100 years since our involvement in World War One, the Anzac Centenary was a time to honour the service and sacrifice of our original ANZACs, and the generations of Australian servicemen and women who have defended our values and freedoms, in wars, conflicts and peace operations throughout a Century of Service.
