Thanks for all of that info and also the monument is overlooking Albany because that is where the troops left Australia for the First World war. It is well worth the visit.

I am pretty sure I know it but have been hoping someone else will have a go. Haven't been there for many years but I think it is Mt Macedon.

Yes Rod, you are right. Over to you.
The Mount Macedon Memorial Cross is a heritage-listed war memorial at 405 Cameron Drive, Mount Macedon, Macedon Ranges Shire, Victoria, Australia.
It is also known as the Cameron Memorial Cross. It was listed on the Victorian Heritage Register on 1 September 1994.
Thanks Radar, would have to be Lakes Entrance, one of my favourite holiday destinations.
I thick it maybe our southern most favorable spot also.
Enjoying a week here at the moment, except for the strong breezes.
Where are going to take us with the next photo?
Love buying the seafood straight off the trawlers and from the co-op. The fish'n'chips takeaway is always great!

Albury NSW.
Yes Radar, Albury is correct.
Over to you.
Safe travels in Vic over the pot holes.
Monument Hill
Located at the western end of Dean Street, Monument Hill is one of Albury's most visited destinations with view the City and the surrounding region.
The most prominent feature that sits atop of the hill is the Albury and District War Memorial which pays homage to those who died in service during World War 1. The area is rich in war history and is a special place for the RSL with the annual ANZAC Day ceremonies held at the base of the War Memorial. Bushland surrounds the war memorial with a myriad of wildflowers including terrestrial orchids blooming in spring and summer.
A major redevelopment of the site and upgrade of the signage was completed in May 2020, read more about the redevelopment works.
History - In 1915 a visiting town planner, Charles Reade. proposed plans to erect a monument on the western hill to memorialise soldiers fallen in combat. The subsequent siting of a War Memorial on the hill specially acquired by Albury Council at the end of Dean Street remains a good example of bold and imaginative town planning.
The War Memorial - The memorial was erected by the citizen's of Albury and district in memory of those who gave their lives in World War 1, 1914 - 1918. The cost of 3200 pounds was raised by public subscription. The structure is 30.48m (100 feet) to the top beacon and is constructed of reinforced concrete. Al old brewery near union bridge was being demolished at the time. The bricks from there were used to make the curved buttresses. The Architect was Louis Harrison while the builder was Tom Bartleson. The monument was unveiled on Anzac Day 1925 by General JJ Paine. All Three men were citizens of Albury.

Gone Walkabout in the Serenity?
Seems like Rod has been missing for a month.
Does someone want to have a go?
Just been looking at my photos and here is one of them.
The wooden sculpture would be found in a coastal fishing town.

Should we give Radar another go?
I purposely did it to make it easy.
Looks like StewG,has got it.
StewG. Good morning.

Had not been though Euroa since the town was by passed.
Where are you going to take us with a photo.
My guess is StewG and Plain Truth don' t wish to play the game, so here is another photo.
