Break down barriers at Tasmania's Wall of Friendship

When you take a medical job in Australia, you can discover a structure that was built to unite people of all ages, races and religious backgrounds, The Wall of Friendship. Situated in Tasmania, this memorial provides a physical sign of gratitude to all migrant communities that reside in Tassie.

Today, you'll find about 54 stone plaques, each representing a different country and bearing the inscription, "Presented by the people of…as a symbol of friendship and goodwill." Each country expresses the sentiment in its own language, and perhaps the most impressive memorial is that of the Aboriginal population of Tasmania.

Instead of the traditional stone block, native artist Allan Mansell won the honor of painting "Reaching Out," which is a massive mural that spans across the ceiling and down a central pillar within the sunken garden. The mosaic-like mural has hundreds of leaves, branches and tiny bugs that symbolize the diverse people of the world.

You can find this inspiring memorial in Tasmania's capital, Hobart, at the Commonwealth Government Centre.
