  1. I see memorial benches quite often, but never as intriguingly placed as this one.

  2. Those commandos were tough people who did the most dangerous jobs. Good they have a memorial.

  4. Quite unusual Jim. At 1st glance I thought it was a macro shot of some tiny electronic component.

    1. There are so many other benches around the Martin Place mall, so people rarely use this one.

  6. I think this is one of the nicest and most unusual memorials I have ever seen. Leave it up to the Australians. They always do it with class.
