Nike was presented to the people of Wollongong on 2nd June 1980 by the steel industry which has been an integral part of that city's economy for over one hundred years.

This work by senior Australian sculptor Ken Unsworth, is named after the Greek God of Victory and reflects her energy and poise. It was the winning entry in a completion calling for a work that acknowledged the Illawarra steel industry. The work, 25 tonnes of mild steel, was fabricated by local tradespeople in local workshops.
