Salvation Army Woman Bollard - Geelong Waterfront, Victoria, AU - Outside Wooden Display Carvings on Waymarking.com

William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, visited Geelong in 1891 and 1895 where he was warmly welcomed. He once stayed at Kardinia House, which the Salvation Army bought in 1945 to use as a shelter for women and children.

This sculpted bollard is one of the iconic colourful bollards along the Geelong waterfront. These wooden characters depict the fascinating history and development of Geelong. They were created between 1994 and 1999 for the Geelong City Council by Jan Mitchell (1940-2008), who was assisted by carver Pieter Roos and artist John Starr.
