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 and asphalt Marine Parade walkway from Manly Beach 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. All of the boards are fixed with carriage bolts, from the front, to the pipes. The backdrop is stones and boulders cemented together, as a retaining wall, with a narrow grassy patch beneath and behind.
Like many of the other Dedicated Benches, this has a great view north along Manly Beach. The engraved, brushed stainless steel plaque (with some black infill) is neatly inset to the top backrest slat, without any fixing screws. It reads:
In Loving Memory of
MERVYN ENDEAN 9.5.28 ~ 15.5.02
STEVEN ENDEAN 15.11.54 ~ 10.7.96
"Always in my heart"
Denny.
