'Not far from where Mrs Macquarie's Road crosses over the Cahill Expressway, on a grassy Domain knoll overlooking Woolloomooloo Bay, is a statue of short story writer and poet Henry Lawson (1867-1922). Unveiled in 1931 by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Philip Game, the Lawson tribute depicts the writer accompanied by 'bush' symbols associated with his literary and real life: a swagman, a fence post, and a dog. As Governor Game (an Englishman) told the Lawson family members and Sydney notables who had gathered for the unveiling, Lawson was 'the voice of Australia' who proclaimed 'far and wide the ideal which, in the simple dialect of the bush, is called 'Mate-iness.''
