5. WWI Cenotaph 1949 Architect: John P Shimmin, Hawkesbury River freestone

World War I Centotaph
This is a solemn sandstone pillar mounted on the west with a bronze wreath and sword. The wording is simple: OUR GLORIOUS DEAD.
This is where dawn services are held every ANZAC Day.
The memorial is 27 feet high and cost £2064. The funds were raised by public subscription, which was greatly assisted by a drive conducted on Anzac Day 1948 by radio station 3BA. It was unveiled on the 24th of November 1949 by the Governor of Victoria, General Sir Dallas Brookes.
On the 27 April 2010 it was announced that funds became available from the State Government's Restoring Community War Memorials Program to refurbish this monument. The Air Force Association Ballarat branch will oversee the cleaning and repair work.
