Overview

The main memorial at 14m in height is constructed from Donnybrook stone, was built and funded by the citizens of Fremantle in 1928 to commemorate the 59,330 Australians killed or posted as missing in action in WW1.
Built at a cost of 5,931 pounds. It was redesigned by the local architects Allen & Nicholas due to a lack of funding for the original winning design.

The original stone obelisk or navigational 'Trig' located on this position enabled shipping to safely navigate the coast and Harbour entry.
