Summary

Pioneer Women's Memorial Garden looking east from near King William Road. A trust was set up to honour South Australian women pioneers. It was modelled on the 1935 memorial gardens in Melbourne. Melbourne sculptor Ola Cohn carved the female figure from a block of Waikerie limestone. Elsie Cornish created the gardens surrounding the sculpture with plants representing memory, protection and love. Gardens were opened in 1941. A time capsule lies within the base of the sculpture and is due to be opened in 2036.
