The Anzac War Memorial was designed by C Bruce Dellit (1900-1942) and was built in 1934 in memory the Australians who lost their lifes in World War I. It is situated towards the southern end of Hyde Park.

In front of the memorial lies the "Lake of Reflections" surrounded by rows of poplars.
"The Sacrifice" - the figure of a young warrior; his body lies upon a shield which is supported by three women - his mother, wife and sister. On of them is carrying a child, the symbol for the future generations for whom the sacrifice has been made.
