Monument Hill

Monument Hill is a prominent hilltop reserve in central Albury, New South Wales, crowned by the Albury War Memorial. Located within the Albury local government area, the hill offers panoramic views over Albury, Wodonga and the Murray River floodplain. Established as a memorial reserve after World War I, it is notable for its heritage-listed war memorial, landscaped grounds, walking tracks and role as a focal point for remembrance services.

Visitors can expect a hilltop reserve accessed via Memorial Drive with a central war memorial, paved surrounds, flagpoles and interpretive plaques. The site provides elevated 360-degree views over the city, surrounding ranges and the Murray River valley. Surroundings include native and planted trees, open lawns, walking tracks and seating. Visitors can explore the memorial precinct, take short walks, photograph the cityscape and attend commemorative services.

The Albury War Memorial on Monument Hill was unveiled on Anzac Day, 25 April 1925, to commemorate soldiers from Albury and district who served and died in World War I. Designed by architect Louis Harrison, the memorial was later dedicated to those who served in subsequent conflicts including World War II. The reserve has served as Albury's principal place of remembrance for over a century.

Monument Hill is Albury's main ceremonial site for Anzac Day dawn services, Remembrance Day and other commemorative events. The war memorial is a focal point for community remembrance and reflects the city's connection to military service history.
