Albany, WA.

At the top of the Avenue of Honour is a really large monument for the light horse brigade in World War 1. It was originally in Port Said in the 20s but was wrecked in the Suez Canal crisis. So the pieces were collected and brought back to Australia and resurrected in the 60s.

 Thanks Dick0

And if you're going to view the monument I suggest the National ANZAC Centre at the top of the drive is a must see and worth an hour or so to view. The pool of reflection shows the 41 od thousand NZ's & Aust who left on the first & second fleets. It takes about 2.5 days for the whole list of names to go through, but if you plan to visit and have relatives who left on the ships you can search via this link https://www.nationalanzaccentre.com.au/pool-of-reflection to see when their name will be shown.

 

 

On a mountain in Victoria?

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.

ok. I don't have a lot of photos but will see what I have.

Seems like Rod has been missing for a month.

Does someone want to have a go?

The wooden sculpture would be found in a coastal fishing town.

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!

Hi Dicko.

Would you believe we visited this memorial only the other week, we have come down to experience a spring in Eastern Victoria starting at Albury/Wodonga.

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.
