Paddy Hannan

In contrast to Henry Camfield, this sculpture of pioneer Paddy Hannan is symbolic of the ebullience of the late 1890s and the discovery of gold which put Western Australia on the map.

Epitomising the sense of determination to overcome the odds which enabled the 'barrowmen' to conquer their hunger, thirst and weariness ahead on their 600-kilometre journey east to Kalgoorlie, he demonstrates the qualities of the 'Aussie battler'.
