- Bronze busts of every Prime Minister from Barton to Lyons stand on granite plinths ranged on either side of a wide path. The passer-by can study the faces of our national leaders at his ease. Barton had a fine head for a sculptor, Deakin a nice face, too sensitive for a tough world; the plinth for Mr. Menzies is still unadorned, owing to the war, although a divertissement was created one day after troops arrived by the discovery of a fine dough model filling the blank. Neither Mr. Fadden nor Mr. Curtin has so far even a pillar to his name. But time will set right these omissions, and the long avenue ahead sunnily presupposes many years of Australian national progression. (en)
