Prime Ministers Avenue, Bronze busts collection in Ballarat Botanical Gardens, Australia.
The Prime Ministers Avenue features bronze sculptures of Australian leaders mounted on granite pedestals along a horse chestnut tree-lined path.
Richard Crouch initiated the monument in 1939 with a £1000 pledge, leading to the first six bronze busts unveiling by Governor Winston Dugan in 1940.
The collection represents twenty-nine prime ministers through sculptures created by different Australian artists, including Wallace Anderson who crafted the initial twelve busts.
Located at coordinates -37.548056, 143.838333 within the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, the avenue offers free access to visitors throughout the year.
The theft of Andrew Fisher and W.M. Hughes busts in January 1944 marked the first security incident at this political memorial collection.
