Pioneer Women's Memorial Garden, Memorial garden in Kings Domain, Melbourne, Australia
The Pioneer Women's Memorial Garden features a formal layout with a central watercourse flowing into a grotto containing a bronze statue.
The garden was established in 1934 during Melbourne's centenary celebrations and designed by Hugh Linaker as part of Depression-era public works projects.
The garden contains sheets of remembrance with names of women pioneers, buried beneath a sundial to commemorate their role in Victoria's development.
The garden provides accessible paths, seating areas, and serves as a venue for outdoor ceremonies and educational programs throughout the year.
A cross-shaped watercourse leads to a grotto decorated with blue tiles, housing a bronze statue created by sculptor Charles Web Gilbert.
