This wasn't easily spotted. We walked from the Opera House and through the botanical gardens and I have to say, with it being located on a hill that slopes in the direction we were walking I almost gave up finding it.
The sculpture is called 'Memory is Creation Without End' and are actually lost memories of Sydney's earliest buildings and structures. Each slab of stone is a remnant of a building or bridge that once stood but was demolished for urban development or vanquished in the spirit of safety.

I don't know where rubble from old buildings retire but Japanese artist Kimio Tsuchiya gathered as many remnants as she could and scattered them across the grass land on the outer rim of the Botanical gardens, opposite the Opera Residences, and they've lived there since 2000.
Now aged with time these beautiful relics are our connection to the past. They lie abandoned, go mostly unnoticed and photographed typically for the sole purpose of being posted to social media.
