Goat Island, located in Sydney Harbour National Park, is a place steeped in history. Once inhabited by the Cadigal aboriginal peoples, the island was also home to Bennelong and Barangaroo. Since European colonization, Goat Island has played an important role in the development of Sydney's urban landscape. Used as a workplace for prisoners and as a gunpowder storage depot, the island is now home to Queen's Magazine, built by prisoners in the 1830s. Next to it are a barracks, a cooperage and a kitchen. Later, Goat Island was the site of the first river police station and the harbour fire department. The island also served as a shipyard and was used for filming and concerts. Although Goat Island is not open to the general public, it is possible to explore its rich past on a guided tour with the NPWS or one of its partners.

She was erected as a monument to the combatants of the Battle of El Alamein, North Africa, during the Second World War.
