Dominating the site is this tall, stylised cross. There is a contemplation pool at the base of the cross with running water.
The ACCC is a national ecumenical centre that encourages dialogue and cooperation amongst Christian churches and between Christianity and other faiths, as well as exploring issues relating to reconciliation in Australia and the interface between Christian faith and Australian culture. The Centre is affiliated with Charles Sturt University.
