About
The Tamworth RSL Sub-Branch has outlined a history of the Man-O-War Gates which once stood at the Naval Jetty at Farm Cove, Sydney Harbour. The jetty was established in colonial times to serve Government House and Fort Macquarie at Bennelong Point. In the 1970s, te gates were removed to make way for the Sydney Opera House. In time, Mr Graham Diamond bought them and offered them to the Tamworth RSL Sub-Branch for inclusion in a war memorial. The gates were refurbished and erected on a support structure constructed by D.E.E.T. in a New Works Opportunities project in 1996. The gates were dedicated as a memorial to the men and women of the Royal Australian Navy.
