The stunning HMAS Sydney II Memorial is a national monument in the city of Geraldton in Australia. The memorial serves as the lasting tribute for the loss of the HMAS Sydney II and the brave sailors on board. This masterpiece was cleverly designed by the talented sculptors Charles Smith and Joan Walsh-Smith.
The memorial features a silver dome with 645 seagulls facing the sky and the names of the 645 brave sailors who lost their lives written on a wall. The giant sculpture of a mother looking towards the sea is simply breathtaking. Visitors can learn more about the tragic event from the descriptions on the information board.
