Alan Marshall Sculpture

Alan Marshall Sculpture, located outside the Eltham Library, features an almost life-size bronze work by sculptor Marcus Skipper, which captures the essence of the renowned Australian author Alan Marshall. The sculpture has garnered positive feedback since its installation in the mid-1990s, serving as a tribute to Marshall's significant contributions to literature and his deep connections to the Eltham community.

Born in 1902, Alan Marshall overcame the challenges of polio to become one of Australia's most celebrated authors, with a diverse body of work including novels, autobiographies, children's literature, and historical accounts. His legacy is honored through this public art piece, reflecting his impact on the local culture and his role as a patron of disadvantaged children's societies.
