Description / Background

The Fountain was commissioned in 1963 by Gosford Rotary as a memorial to all who had fought for peace. Sculptor Gerald Lewers was invited to create the fountain including the organic shaped copper scoop. His painter wife, Margo Lewers, was invited to design the pool and wall mosaic. The back of the feature wall is made of grey Gosford sandstone with staggered steps to provide a pattern of water cascades.
