DAY 2 - 14.12.12
From the Dragon Seafood Chinese Restaurant, we proceeded to the Monument Hill Memorial Park. We strolled the site and took few photos. The panoramic view and the gentle breeze made the 35 minutes seem to end so fast.
The Monument Hill Memorial Reserve has been designated a Class-A reserve under the Land Administration Act 1997. The site was originally established by the Fremantle Town Council in 1928 to commemorate the losses of the First World War, having previously been used as a public reserve since the early 19th century.
The Monument Hill Memorial Reserve was listed on the Register of Historic Places on 28 August 2001, with the Register Listing noting: "the complete panorama afforded from the place, its urban parkland containing mature trees and open spaces, and the open character and almost constant breeze at its summit are all aesthetic characteristics of the place that continue to attract visitors and locals alike and contribute to the community's sense of place".
