Statement of Significance
The obelisk is considered to be the most important structure in Mosman Park and is the major emblem on the Coat of Arms of the Town of Mosman Park.
Physical Description
The obelisk is a tiered limestone structure situated at the highest point of the hill. It is surrounded by limestone retaining walls and native scrub. Close by to the east is the roof of the reservoir. To the north and west the hill falls away sharply. The obelisk can be seen from nay parts of Mosman Park and from further afield.
Integrity/Authenticity
The reservoir was enlarged and built around the obelisk in 1934-35. The obelisk was moved in 1983, 48 metres south west, so as not to be in the reservoir, and restored at the same time.
