I like this idea, although it is a bit derivative of those statues up in Bendigo, or is Ballarat? And really, Joe Lyons' body would not be relinquished by the Taswegians, nor John Curtin's by the Sandgropers!<br /><br />I wonder how all the living PMs (Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Keating, Howard, Rudd & Gillard) feel about being in a Memorial Garden already?<br /><br />However, from what I see of the Melbourne General Cemetery it appears to be a gardener's heaen, Nick.
