The much loved Leigh Conkie sculptures in Greensborough War Memorial Park are coming to the end of their functional life.
Chainsaw carver, Leigh and artist-blacksmith Roland Dannenhauer will be working together over the next 18 months to design and create new sculptures to replace them. 

This launch event begins a conversation with the community about how we say farewell to the existing sculptures and what we put in their place. Homefront acknowledges and celebrates the resilience of service men and women, their families and communities, as they rebuild their lives and relationships when they return home.

Join us at the launch to learn about the project and how you might be involved. 

Demonstrations of forging and chainsaw carving.

Complimentary tea and scones. 

All welcome.
