Summary

Central Park. a Rotunda can be seen in the middle of the photograph and two people sitting on a park bench. This is believed to be Sturt Park located in the heart of Broken Hill at the junction of Beryl and Chloride Streets. It now features The Titanic Memorial, in memory of the bandsmen of the Titanic who kept playing in the hope of maintaining calm while the ship went down in 1912. The broken column is not an unrepaired accident but an ancient Greek symbol of being cut down in youth.
