ANZAC Plaza Glenelg.
"A Chorus Of Stones".
This memorial commemorates all of the military conflicts that have involved Australian troops and support services throughtout our nation`s history. It is solemnly dedicated to the memory of those who served and the sacrifices they have made.
All memorials are devoted to the idea of memory and the sacred. Whether they are the holy sites in the landscapes of Indigenous societies, or the memorials that are built for our modern cities. They all maintain a connection to our past, and to our spiritual and cultural roots.
The memorial is composed of local granite, bluestone boulders and the voices of South Australians who have served.
These are the voices of healing and understanding.
Remember.
