Ian Horsley/Robert McCleod, bench - Manly, NSW, Australia - Dedicated Benches on Waymarking.com

This is a multi-slat, aqua-painted wooden bench about 1.8 metres long, that is getting a bit chipped from being frequently used over the years. It is set beside the concreted walkway from Manly to Shelly Beach, on Sydney's northern beaches. The three backrest slats are painted an 'Australian sky blue', while the four wooden slats of the seat are not so freshly painted, and chipped on the edges. A few of the boards are fixed from behind to two bent, galvinised water pipes, that secured into a hidden concrete pad. Others are fixed with carriage bolts, from the front, to the pipes. The backdrop is stones and boulders cemented together, lined up like a rough fence, with a narrow grassy patch beneath and behind.

The engraved, brushed stainless steel plaque is neatly inset to the top backrest slat, without any fixing screws. It reads:

IAN HORSLEY   7.6.36 ~ 8.6.90
ROBERT McCLEOD   6.6.22 ~ 2.1.00
Greatly missed by their
families and friends
