The monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.  It was refurbished in 2004. 

In the early 1930s Ted Larke was the prime mover in getting the Scouts to construct a memorial on the hill. In the foundations of the obelisk memorial, was placed an issue of "The West Australian" and "The Daily News" newspapers and a £1 note. Sometime later, the Corrigin Shire and the RSL re-conditioned the obelisk as part of a scenic lookout.
