Gundagai. A small part of the marble marvel which local scultpure artist Rusconi made in Gundagai with 21,000 peices of NSW marble with so many different colours.

Further along Sheridan Street are the floodplain bridges and the town Cenotaph designed by marble sculpture Frank Rusconi. His cottage home is on the corner of Araluen Street where he worked on his marble masterpiece. This masterpiece created over 28 years using around 21,000 pieces of NSW marble of different colours and from 20 different quarries is truly remarkable. Rusconi was born in NSW but learnt marble carving in Europe. His notable works include headstone in Galong cemetery, a marble stairway in Westminster Cathedral, the altar of the Tumut Catholic Church, the Gundagai Cenotaph, the base of the Dog on the Tucker Box etc.
