"An Gorta Mór" Famine Memorial Western Australia
This Memorial was erected by The Western Australia Irish Famine Commemoration Inc. in partnership with the City of Subiaco to commemorate The Great Irish Famine 1845-1852. Especially remembered are the girls who arrived in Western Australia in the 1850's following the Irish Famine. The bronze sculpture depicts a childless Mother keening for her children, lost through starvation and forced emigration as a result of the Famine. Special thanks to Keith McDonald for the production of the video! |
