ANZAC Hill Memorial - Alice Springs, NT, Australia - Drawing Waymarks on Waymarking.com

"The ANZAC Hill Memorial was dedicated in 1934 in memory of those who had served in World War One. A memorial wall containing plaques is now situated behind the memorial which now commemorates Australian servicemen and women who have served in all wars and conflicts.

The Alice Springs RSL Sub-Branch, chartered in 1932 with 12 members, was instrumental in having ANZAC Hill and what is now ANZAC Hill High School and oval granted to them as ANZAC Reserve. The Reverend Harry Griffiths of the Australian Inland Mission suggested a memorial be erected on the crown of the hill and he was responsible for the design. The ashes of Reverend Griffiths and his wife are interred in the memorial. The builder was Mr Jack Donnellan and the cost of 90 Pounds was raised by subscriptions, concerts and dances. The road to the memorial, potentially more costly than the monument itself, was constructed with voluntary labour from a small population. Corner floodlights, originally from motor cars and powered by a battery, were replaced with lights from the decommissioned H.M.A.S. Yarra in 1979." (visit link)
