Interpretive description

The Brock's Creek temple had two stone lions at its entrance. These lions were moved during World War II to the Burnside Station and Larrakeyah Barracks. In 1959 they were moved to the entrance of the newly renovated temple in Woods Street, Darwin. This photograph was probably taken at Burnside Station or Larrakeyah Barracks.
