El Alamein Fountain
El Alamein Fountain, War memorial fountain in Kings Cross, Australia
The El Alamein Fountain features a bronze sphere with small nozzles creating a delicate water spray pattern from a hexagonal base in Fitzroy Gardens.
The fountain commemorates Australian soldiers of the 9th Division who fought in two decisive battles at El Alamein, Egypt, during World War II.
Architect Bob Woodward received the New South Wales Institute of Architects Civic Design Award in 1964 for this modernist fountain design.
Located at the intersection of Darlinghurst Road and Macleay Street, the fountain provides drinking water while illuminated displays enhance nighttime visibility.
The fountain structure incorporates brass pipes and specialized spray heads that generate a sphere-shaped water pattern responding to air movements.
