The 1917 ANZAC Parade Obelisk was designed by Robert Hargreave Brodrick (Sydney City Architect 1898-1928) while the metal work was made by the local Sydney firm Wunderlich Ltd. It was originally positioned at the head of Anzac Parade at the intersection of Moore Park Road. In 1998, when the Eastern Distributor was constructed, the obelisk was moved south along Anzac Parade. It was removed in 2014 to make way for the Albert 'Tibby' Cotter Walkway and restored and re-erected at the northern end of Moore Park in 2017.
