"Dignity and Permanence"Print Page 
The sculpted basalt rock from Adelong titled ‘Dignity and Permanence’, was created by world renowned Austrian rock sculptor, Andreas Buisman. It is installed, together with the boulders, to create a contemplative space, emanating dignity and the power of permanence. This memorial reflects the country from where these volunteer soldiers came, and hints at where they went. The rocks represent the young men from Bombala lost in World War One, and a particularly prominent boulder came from the property where one of them had grown up.

remembering our heroes
This memorial of Monaro boulders commemorates
the Centenary of Anzac (1915 -2015) and of World War 1.
It honours the sacrifices made by all members of the Bombala and
District communities and their families.
"Dignity and Permanence" created by Andreas
Buisman, sculptor, is installed, together with
the boulders, to create a contemplative
space, emanating dignity and the power
of permanence. This memorial reflects the
country from where these volunteers came
and where they went.
The boulders represent the young men lost in World
War 1 from the Bombala District. Collectively they
remind us of the sacrifice and valour of
all who served Australia during this conflict.
Please sit on the boulders, wander through,
relax, and contemplate "Dignity and Permanence."
