This monument is located in Cook Park at Monterey, close to the shore of Botany Bay. It was erected in 1970 to commemorate the Bicentennary of Captain Cook discovering the east coast of Australia on the 29th April 1770, so that makes today the 240th anniversary. The plaque describes this monument as an obelisk, which seems a bit strange to me because I always thought an obelisk had to be a pointed pillar.
