This magnificent ornate gate in Lyne Park leads to the Rose Bay war memorial, in the eastern suburb of Rose Bay. The war memorial was dedicated on 21st April 1935 but commemorates World War 1, World War 2, the Korean War and Vietnam War. The gate came from an old mansion called Colebrook, which was located in a nearby suburb called Double Bay.
Love the ornate gate.
ReplyDeleteIt's as if the trees are shielding the war memorial, the gates standing guard. Lest we forget...
