This mosaic is on the side wall of a shop on the corner of Anzac Parade and Gardeners Lane, in the eastern suburb of Kingsford. The artwork was created in 1990 by artist Lloyd Kellerman. It depicts the Southern Cross, which was the plane flown by Australian aviators Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm with American crewmen Harry Lyon and James Warner, becoming the first people to cross the Pacific Ocean by air in 1928. The suburb is named after Kingsford Smith.
