Torch of liberty
Monument Hill War Memorial的点评
点评：This is an incredible place to visit...not just for the humbling war memorial -which is worth visiting all on it's own...but the views are rather special.
Designed by the Architect Louis Harrison, the site was chosen by the town planner Charles Reade. The monument is a white concrete tower, in the form of a tapered lighthouse and surmounted by a 'torch of liberty'. This torch is 1.8 meters high and faced with 40 panes of prismatic glass. During the day sunlight plays through this glazing giving the torch the illusion it is lit.
On Anzac Day 1925 General Paine opened this...which makes sense because the bathroom facilities at the site have an Art Deco appearance.
When the Great War broke in out in July 1914 J.J.Paine volunteered for service. In 1915 he was despatched to Melbourne to command 2,700 troops on the Ceramic, the largest troopship that left Australian shores. A further command of 2,200 troops on the Euripides brought him in touch with the Anzac Mounted Division then operating in Egypt, Sinai and Palestine. He was awarded the rank of full Colonel, then the rank of Brigadier-General. He held the 1915 Star, the General Service and Victory Medals and the Victoria Decoration. An interesting thing to note about J.J. was that he was educated at the Albury Grammar School.
There are information boards and plaques at the site, very thoughtfully laid out. The area in front of the memorial is a square that has room for many people to attend services. There is limited car parking available at the top, but you can walk to the memorial. (Particularly if you are a fitness junkie :) )
From the memorial there are views of Albury township... two lookout areas exist... one is just down the slope next to some picnic tables and then the second is at the memorial itself. Both are going to offer you some impressive views.

翻译：这是一个令人难以置信的参观地点......不仅仅是为了令人谦卑的战争纪念馆 - 它本身就值得参观......但景色相当特别。
该地点由建筑师路易斯·哈里森设计，由城市规划师查尔斯·里德选择。纪念碑是一座白色混凝土塔，呈锥形灯塔形状，顶部有“自由火炬”。这支火炬高 1.8 米，表面覆盖着 40 块棱形玻璃。白天，阳光透过玻璃，使火炬产生被点燃的错觉。
1925 年澳新军团日，潘恩将军开设了这个……这是有道理的，因为该地点的浴室设施具有装饰艺术风格的外观。
1914 年 7 月第一次世界大战爆发时，J·J·潘恩自愿参军。 1915 年，他被派往墨尔本，指挥陶瓷号上的 2,700 名士兵，这是离开澳大利亚海岸的最大军舰。在欧里庇得斯号上进一步指挥 2,200 名士兵后，他与当时在埃及、西奈半岛和巴勒斯坦作战的安扎克骑兵师取得了联系。他被授予上校军衔，然后被授予准将军衔。他荣获 1915 年星章、一般服务奖章、胜利奖章以及维多利亚勋章。关于 J.J. 需要注意的一件有趣的事情他在奥尔伯里文法学校接受教育。
现场有信息板和牌匾，布置得非常周到。纪念馆前的区域是一个广场，可以容纳很多人参加仪式。山顶的停车位有限，但您可以步行前往纪念馆。 （特别是如果您是健身迷:)）
从纪念馆可以看到奥尔伯里镇的景色……有两个了望区……一个位于斜坡下方，靠近一些野餐桌，第二个位于纪念馆本身。两者都会为您提供一些令人印象深刻的景观。
