Talk:El Alamein Fountain

Potential sources
Hi Aussie editors: The National Library of Australia has a copy (audio and transcript) of an interview with designer Robert Woodward, in which he talks about the El Alamein fountain. catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/2148409. (Summary: March 22, 1972, ca. 90 min: "Woodward speaks of his technical education in Granville and Sydney Technical College; joining the Army and studying technical subjects; going to Sydney University under the rehabilitation scheme and studying architecture; working for Alvar Aalto in Finland; his thoughts on design and general approach to architecture; his return to Australia; fountain and sculptural work; the El Alamein fountain in Sydney.") It's out of my reach, but an in-person visitor to the library can read it/listen to it there for free. WikiJedits (talk) 19:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
