“The stainless steel sculptures, tall and slim and glinting in the sunlight, are easily recognisable. There’s a fettler, a shunter and a fireman, a signalman, a gatekeeper and a flag lady and they have all been expertly crafted by artist Dominique Sutton, whose work was showcased during the Sydney Olympic Games. Three metres high, they look down onto a specially landscaped amphitheatre beside the railway station of the tiny, historic town of Werris Creek, 480 kilometres north-west of Sydney. The sculptures are an arresting part of The Australian Railway Memorial – A rail museum and a memorial to those who have died in the service of Australian railways.”
