This is the South Australian memorial to the Forgotten Australians and Wards of the State. It is in Peace Park at the corner of Sir Edwin Avenue and Brougham Place. It consists of four Huge stainless steel daisies (I only captured three in this picture), each in a different state of opening, as a symbol of hope and healing for children (now adults) who suffered harm in out of home care.
The tallest of the daisies is over six metres and can be seen from quite a distance.
The concept was developed by artist Craige Andrae, who was inspired by his love and hopes for his own small children.
The dedication on the memorial reads:
In honour of children who suffered abuse in institutional and out of home care.
We have grown through awareness and unity. We celebrate our courage, strength and resilience. We are no longer forgotten.
Dedicated to the future protection and nurturing of all children
