The central memorial and ex-service association memorials surrounding it were erected by the people of WA to recognise the sacrifice of those men & women who gave their lives in combat. 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. The original stone obelisk or navigational ‘Trig’ located on this position enabled shipping to safely navigate the coast and Harbour entry.
