The Australian Turkish Friendship Memorial

The Australian Turkish Friendship Memorial in Melbourne, Victoria, commemorates the profound respect and humanity exhibited by soldiers from both Australia and Turkey during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915. Marking the centenary of the landings, the sculpture titled "Seeds of Friendship" encapsulates the deep bond forged between the two nations through shared history and mutual respect.

Designed by artist Matthew Harding, the memorial serves as a poignant reminder of reconciliation, friendship, and the enduring legacy of the ANZAC spirit. It reflects the collaborative effort and dedication of various supporters, including the Turkish Sub-Branch of the Victorian RSL and the State Government of Victoria.
