Historical information

The Three crosses of sacrifice. This chainsaw sculpture is one of a series of chainsaw sculptures in Greensborough War Memorial Park, sculpted by Leigh Conkie in 2003. The trees surrounding the park were removed when disease made them unsafe, and the sculptures were created from the stumps. These original sculptures were removed in 2017 and replaced with a new series of chainsaw sculptures called Homefront.
