Soirée: The ANZAC Poppy Art Project

The ANZAC Poppy Art Project, also known as the 'Rock of Remembrance' Elephant Rock will be clothed in red handmade poppies as a remembrance piece and backdrop to a dawn service whose reverence captivates its audience and whose tides symbolise the shores of Gallipoli.

On Friday April 17 a precession of local school children will cast a net covered with thousands of handmade poppies over Elephant Rock at Currumbin. Local environmental artist Lynne Adams is working with students from Currumbin and Elanora primary and Palm Beach High (PBC) to create the poppies from 10,000 recycled plastic bottles kindly donated by VISY.

Collaborating with Swell Sculpture event directors Natasha Edwards and Ruth Della, Currumbin RSL has commissioned Lynne Adams to work with our local school students. This project offers a way to educate our children about the casualties of war and to better understand the sacrifices made by those who served and still serve.
