The Fairfield International Monument at The Crescent is a powerful tribute to the migrants who shaped Fairfield City, particularly those arriving before the early 1970s, predominantly from Europe. Conceived by the Fairfield Multicultural Society, a group of diverse individuals committed to honouring the many nationalities settling in the region, the monument was designed by Leonid and Yurij Denysenko.
Its symbolic design features an "A" representing Australia and Mount Ararat, while an angular form evokes a boat or plane, signifying the journey. A central opening symbolizes migrants emerging into their new homeland. Originally, a waterfall cascaded from its centre.
The Crescent also hosts other significant historical landmarks. The LJ Friend clock tower, originally installed in 1958 and recently restored, continues to mark time. Nearby is the Stimson Memorial drinking fountain, erected in 1935. The preservation of these monuments ensures future generations remember the invaluable contributions of those who journeyed to and built their lives in Fairfield.
