Sphinx Memorial

The Sphinx Memorial is a heritage-listed sandstone sculpture located in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park at North Turramurra, New South Wales. Carved in the 1920s as a memorial to Australian soldiers of World War I, it replicates the Great Sphinx of Giza. Set in bushland along a walking track near Bobbin Head, it is notable for its historical craftsmanship, bushland setting, and status as a distinctive war memorial within Australia's second-oldest national park.

Visitors can expect a large sandstone sphinx sculpture carved into natural rock in bushland within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. The memorial is reached via a bushwalking track through open forest and sandstone outcrops, with interpretive signage explaining its history. The site is an open-air memorial with surrounding natural bushland, sandstone platforms and views of the park. There is no building or museum; the experience is a short walk, viewing the sculpture, photography and quiet reflection.
