A journey of discovery
A sense of place is created by the reverence you feel once you move past the entrance of the parkland and see the art installations in the distance - it portrays a commemorative setting - a gentle slope guides you down aided by the subtle rise of two angled walls that funnel you closer to the altar. You are now within the ‘open cut’ section. This resembles an open air cathedral that could hold thousands of people around you. This atmosphere fits well with the mining industry having its own patron saint, Saint Barbara. “This is a place to pause for reflection. To acknowledge those who have died - a special place that is designed with purpose”
