THE BALI MEMORIAL

A place for remembrance and reflection

The Bali Memorial is a place for remembrance and quiet

reflection, with viewing platforms and gathering spaces. The
two perspectives capture familiar sites of Perth, the Swan River
and the Darling Range. The Sunrise axis is aligned so a ray of
light enters the Memorial at sunrise on 12 October each year,
illuminating the plaque engraved with the names of those
Western Australians lost in the terrorist attacks.

The then Premier Dr Geoff Gallop decided to commission
the Memorial. Architects Donaldson + Warn created the
design after consultation with both families who had lost loved
ones, and the public. Kimberley sandstone, steel and granite
materials are used in its construction.

The Memorial features images of native flora and fauna
on the steel walls, symbolising growth and renewal. Phrases of
comfort and hope are etched into the walls and paving. Native
plantings, including a grove of 16 grass trees, reinforce the
Memorials Australian spirit.

The PInes Picnic area, on the western side of Fraser
Avenue, was also refurbished as part of the Baili Memoiral
Project. His Excellency Lieutenant General John Sanderson AC,
Govenor of Western Australia, officially dedicated
the Bali Memorial on 12 October 2003.
