The rotunda in St David's Park

St David's Park is a park in Hobart, Tasmania. It is bounded by Davey Street, Salamanca Place and Sandy Bay Road. St David's Park contains Hobart's original burial ground, and the first Lieutenant Governor, David Collins, is buried there.[1][2]

The two lions were sculpted around 1884 by Richard Patterson for entrance of the Bank of Van Diemen's Land building at the corner of Collins and Elizabeth streets. They were moved to Port Arthur when the building was demolished in 1958, and installed in the park in 1988.[3]
