The 'Wurrungwuri Stone Sculpture' was a bequest in the will of the late Ronald Johnson, his will directed that a substantial sum should be used to provide a sculpture to be placed on the Sydney Harbour foreshore. Following an international competition, the Trustees of the Estate selected Chris Booth, an internationally renowned sculptor from New Zealand to design and develop the sculpture and Gosford Quarries to supply the sandstone. The site chosen for the sculpture is close to Government House in the Royal Botanical Gardens Sydney.
We are proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to the deserving cause of the Bryce Anderson project. Many Aussies will remember the televised coverage of this heart-warming project to complete the dream of the late Bryce Anderson who was tragically killed in service in 2012. Gosford quarries donated both material and labour to implement the internal fireplace cladding and the external Landscape logs, using the finest Australian sandstone.
After hearing the TOM DANCEY (an inspiring Aboriginal Stawell Race Winner 1910) story on Radio 2GB’s Allen Jones Breakfast Show, where his great niece Maureen was pleading with the public and the Dirranbandi local authorities for funds to recognise her great uncle who was buried in an unmarked grave, Sarkis Bros was the first there to pledge a sandstone headstone.
