These sculptures adorn the walls of the Customs Officers Stairs at The Rocks. The sculpture of Robert Campbell (ltop) was created by Dennis Adams. Robert Campbell was a pioneering merchant in Sydney who built the private Campbell's wharf and warehouses in this area. The other sculpture (bottom) is a war memorial created by Lyndon Dadswell. The plaque reads: In memory of the men of the 6th Australian division who sailed from these shores during World War 2 (1939-1945) to serve in North Africa, Greece, Syria, Ceylon and Papua New Guinea.
