This bronze bust captures Lord Alistair McAlpine, a respected figure in both British and Australian society, and a Freeman of Broome. He is portrayed wearing a quintessential Aussie Akubra hat, symbolizing his deep connection to the Australian outback, and accompanied by a black cockatoo perched on his shoulder, a nod to his love for nature and wildlife.
Lord McAlpine’s dedication to the region of Broome, along with his philanthropic efforts, is reflected in his thoughtful expression. The Akubra hat and the cockatoo highlight his unique character and the profound bond he shared with the land and people of Australia. This bust stands as a tribute to his legacy, capturing his spirit as a true friend of Broome and a man of remarkable influence.
