A small group of self-styled patriotic protesters gathered in Hyde Park on Saturday afternoon to demonstrate against recent graffiti vandalism on some of Sydney's colonial era monuments.

The group, known as the Party for Freedom, marched through the park to some of the statutes spray-painted a week earlier.

Chairman of the party, Nick Folkes said the gathering of about 30 was to demonstrate opposition to what he dubbed an attack on Australia's colonial heritage.

"We want our statues to remain, we want them saved and we don't want history rewritten," he said.
