Almost every city has a monument that is a kind of business card. In Albury, this is Monument Hill, a beautiful stele that is dedicated to soldiers and civilians who died in the First World War.

In fact, not only the monument itself is attractive, but also the road to it: a picturesque landscape on both sides of the way surrounds guests almost from the very center of the city. And from the hill, there are stunning views of the city. Perhaps this is why Monument Hill is one of the most popular places for local photographers and tourists.

Monument Hill was designed by the well-known architect Louis Harrison in 1923. And a year later, in 1924, the official opening took place.

Notably, at first, the residents of Albury were not very happy with the new attraction. Many people thought that the monument is faceless and even more spoil than adorns the natural hill, which used to be just an improvised observation platform and a place to relax. But gradually they got used to the monument. So Monument Hill became the most visited attraction in Albury.

You can get to the monument directly from the city center. The trip by car will take no more than ten minutes. But it is better to walk and enjoy the beauty of the city. A large number of walking routes lead to the monument. Some of them go through the city, others - through small parks rich in local flora and fauna.

A walk-on Monument Hill is a great opportunity, first of all, to get acquainted with the city of Albury. Secondly, to admire the beauty from a high viewing platform. Third, spend time studying the history of Australia, as near Monument Hill, dedicated to the First World War, there is a small monument erected in memory of the people who died in the Second World War.

And even though this is a military monument, there is a very calm atmosphere next to it, because you can see beautiful views of the peaceful and happy life of the modern city.
