Comradeship a sculpture
in memory of Michael Dwyer
on the road to Wollengong
A tribute to an extraordinary man
with compassion and a care of others
With whispers of lives past
Hopes and voices of futures yet to be dreamed
amidst a sunny seascape
Alison Jean Hankinson
For d’Verse Quadrille #24

Although I don’t know who Michael Dwyer was I liked the phrase “whispers of lives past”.

I think that every monument can actually whisper stories of a past…

I like how you’ve noted that, as with any good tribute, this one conjures up both the ‘whispers of lives past’ and also evokes thoughts of future hopes and dreams.

A man worth honouring for sure. A real shame that Gonski didn’t turn out as envisaged.
I was disconcerted at first, because I thought there must be some other town with a name very like Wollongong. But in fact it is evidently Wollongong that you mean. (Well, that’s the usual spelling, but as it’s clearly an indigenous word, I guess the accepted spelling is arbitrary after all.)
