Dorothea Mackellar Memorial Statue
Poets Precinct
Dorothea Mackellar was born in Point Piper in Sydney, and is buried in Waverley Cemetery overlooking the ocean. But the sunburnt country she wrote about so passionately is out here. And a memorial statue with her on a horse is next to the watertower museum. Well worth a visit - even if just to reread the poem.
