Overlooking Hyde Park from inside the Anzac Memorial.

In front of the memorial lies the "Lake of Reflections" surrounded by rows of poplars.The Anzac Memorial is a dedication to the lives of soldiers.
The letters ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
On the ceiling of the dome above the "Hall of Memory" there are 120,000 stars, each representing the service in the AIF of men and women from New South Wales during WWI.

From a brochure:
The "Well of Contemplation" is best viewed from above, through the centre of the marble wreath encircling the well. The sculpture "The Sacrifice" depicts the recumbent form of an ANZAC whose soul has passed to the Great Beyond, and whose body, borne aloft upon a shield by his best beloved-mother (SouthWest), sister (East), wife and child (NorthWest) -is laid there as a symbol of that spirit which is inspired him in life, the spirit of Courage, Endurance and Sacrifice.
