These decorative gates are part of Sandringham Gardens in Hyde Park North. Sandringham Gardens were developed to commemorate the intended visit of King George VI in 1952, which was cancelled due to his sudden death. In 1953, it was decided to dedicate the gardens as a joint memorial to the late King George V and the late King George VI. The memorial gates were unlocked on 5 February 1954 by the late King George VI’s daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.
The beach in the southern suburb of Sandringham provides this view of two yachts sailing from Botany Bay, heading upstream on the Georges River. The Towra Point Nature Reserve is in the background.
