At the summit of Mount Macedon is the Memorial Cross which commemorates those who gave their lives in the 1914 – 1918 war.
Erected on a vantage point with glorious views, the Cross is 21 metres in height and 1001 metres above sea level,
the original structure was unveiled in 1935, but due to storm and fire damage, it was replaced in 1995.
After the Shrine of Remembrance, Mount Macedon Memorial Cross is considered to be the most significant war memorial in Victoria.
The view from the cross takes in the entire southern plain towards Port Philip Bay.
It is a view that even locals return to, time and time again.
Located in Mount Macedon Memorial Cross Reserve

Victoria is Australia's second smallest State and covers only 3% of Australia's land area but has the second highest population of all States and Territories. Victoria's mainland and islands have a total length of 2,512 kilometres coastline which is about 4.2% of Australia's 59,736 kilometres of coastline. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and Victoria is no exception although the state capital Melbourne has the reputation to have 4 seasons in one day. Victoria is located in the southeast of mainland Australia and includes the most southern point on mainland Australia at Wilsons Promontory National Park.
