Play Sculpture
This sculpture is one of two works by David Tolley situated on Lake Burley Griffin. This work is in Weston Park, Yarralumla and the other is in Commonwealth Park, Parkes. It is made up from an arrangement of seven independent forms placed to function as play equipment and seating. Both the Weston Park and Commonwealth Park sculptures use the same seven forms but are arranged in different configurations to suit the surrounding landscape.

Poets' Corner
Poets' Corner is a collection of three bronze busts of Canberra focussed Australian poets Judith Wright, A.D. Hope and David Campbell. This public artwork, by Cathy Weiszmann, honours their literary contributions and creates a dedicated space for reflection, recitation, and the enjoyment of poetry. Each bust is mounted on a granite plinth, featuring a selected excerpt from the poet’s work, inviting visitors to engage with their words and legacy.

Prime Minister John Curtin and Treasurer Ben Chifley, ca 1945
This sculpture recreates an iconic photograph of John Curtin (1885-1945), Australia’s fourteenth Prime Minister (1941-45), and Treasurer Joseph Benedict (Ben) Chifley (1885-1951), who would become Australia’s sixteenth Prime Minister (1945-49). Curtin and Chifley routinely walked along this route to the Provisional (Old) Parliament House from the nearby Kurrajong Hotel - where Labor Members of Parliament generally stayed, while Parliament was sitting. Curtin and Chifley are two of Australia’s most respected Prime Ministers and they were strong supporters of the development of Canberra as the nation’s capital.
