Anzac Parade Obelisk

The obelisk is approximately 6m in height and stands on a stepped sandstone base. The lower portion of the monument (the plinth) consists of light-coloured sandstone masonry featuring a simple curved decorative motif at its top. The plinth features the name 'ANZAC PARADE' on its northern side in large bronze lettering, and is located above the plaque. It is part of the Sydney Centennial Parklands memorials. 

The obelisk has been relocated from the medium strip on Anzac Parade in to Moore Park.

From The City of Sydney - Significant Trees - Centennial Park – Moore Park / Anzac Parade:

The figs along this portion of Anzac Parade date from c.1868 when Botany Road, renamed Randwick Road, and now known as Anzac Parade was planted. It was originally planted with a double row of Norfolk Island Pines with an outer row of alternating Moreton Bay Figs and Monterey Pines. In 1917 the road was widened and the failed Monterey Pines were replaced with Port Jackson Figs. After WWI the road was named Anzac Parade, as Sydney’s most important boulevarde, to commemorate the Anzac troops (Centennial Parkland CMP 2001).
