"Coming and Going" is a stainless steel sculpture by Sasha Reid, created in 2006. This artwork which resembles a chain of paper dolls, commemorates child migrants. It has been installed in an area behind the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour, where visiting school groups often gather. The plaque reads: This memorial is dedicated to the child migrants from the United Kingdom and Malta who had to leave their families and country of birth during the years 1912-1967. After arriving by ship, these children faced an unknown future in New South Wales. Many endured personal hardships, some experienced great suffering. They and their families have made and continue to make a valuable contribution to their communities and to Australia.
