History and use
Shrines of Remembrance, such as Anzac Square in Brisbane, are important places in the landscape. As a physical location for remembrance they give people a focal point for commemoration. These sites are so important that they even feature in tourist-ware.
This sweets dish, featuring the Anzac Memorial and Central Railway Station in Brisbane is part of a collection of ceramic souvenir items held by the museum, dated from the 1920s to the 1960s, showing that most areas of Queensland have been promoted. Most of the souvenir items depict features locally regarded as important or symbolic. The use of souvenirs is widespread and relies on both local and international manufacturers for supply, sometimes from the most unlikely places.
