Statue of Queen Victoria, Bronze monument in front of Queen Victoria Building, Sydney, Australia
The seated bronze statue depicts Queen Victoria in formal regalia with intricate details on her crown, scepter, and royal robes.
Created by John Hughes in 1908, the statue stood at Leinster House in Dublin until 1948 when it was removed due to political changes.
The statue represents the transition of colonial symbols between Ireland and Australia, marking changes in both nations' relationships with Britain.
The statue stands at the corner of Druitt and George Street, with an adjacent bronze dog statue that collects donations for children's hospitals.
The recorded voice of radio personality John Laws emanates from speakers near the statue, impersonating Queen Victoria's dog Islay requesting donations.
