Darling Harbour, Coming and Going

"Coming and Going" is a stainless steel sculpture created by Sasha Reid  in 2006, which depicts a chain of paper dolls and commemorates child migrants. It has been installed in an area behind the Australian National Maritime Museum in the inner city suburb of Pyrmont, where visiting school groups often gather. The plaque reads: This memorial is dedicated to the child migrants from the United Kingdom and Malta who had to leave their families and country of birth during the years 1912-1967. After arriving by ship, these children faced an unknown future in New South Wales. Many endured personal hardships, some experienced great suffering. They and their families have made and continue to make a valuable contribution to their communities and to Australia.

Darling Harbour, Cape Bowling Green lighthouse

The Cape Bowling Green lighthouse is located at the Australian National Maritime Museum, at Darling Harbour. It was originally built in 1874 at Cape Bowling Green, a low sandy spit 70 kilometres south of Townsville, Queensland. It was one of 22 identical lighthouses built on the North Queensland coast to guide vessels around the Great Barrier Reef, where many ships had run aground. The frame of this 22 metre high lighthouse was built from local hardwood and clad with iron plates from Britain. It was staffed by a keeper and three assistants and moved twice, in 1878 and 1908, when threatened by the sea. In 1913, an incandescent mantle was installed, fuelled by vapourised kerosene. It was destaffed in 1920 when an automatic acetylene light was installed, operated by a sun valve. It was replaced by a modern tower in 1987 and then transported to the north wharf of the maritime museum in Sydney in 1994.

Darling Harbour, signal mast

This signal mast is located at Darling Harbour, beside the Australian National Maritime Museum. It was originally erected at the Royal Australian Navy's Garden Island Dockyard in 1912, with pennants or signal flags flown from it displaying messages to naval vessels in Sydney Harbour. It stood at 72 metres but in World War II had the middle section removed because it was a hazard to sea planes taking off from Rose Bay. It was reconstructed here in 1991 and now stands at 20.7 metres. The Australian national flag, the museum flag, the principal sponsor’s flag, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags are flown from it every day. On special days, signal flags are flown from the mast to display messages.

The museum houses exhibitions that explore Australia's links with the sea and how maritime activities and issues have shaped the lives of people in Australia. The Pyrmont Bay ferry wharf, the museum's Welcome Wall and the Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse can be seen from here.
