Hobart Cenotaph, War memorial in Queens Domain, Hobart, Australia.
The Hobart Cenotaph features a 75-foot grey granite obelisk with a stepped bluestone base, bronze laurel wreaths, and illuminated Latin crosses beneath the cap.
Constructed in 1925, the memorial initially honored 522 Tasmanian soldiers who perished in World War I, with their names sealed in a zinc casket at its base.
The memorial serves as Tasmania's primary military monument, hosting annual Anzac Day ceremonies where a bugler performs the Last Post at dawn.
The monument stands on an elevated position overlooking both the city of Hobart and the River Derwent, making it visible from multiple vantage points.
The site incorporates earthen walls containing soil from birthplaces and battlefields of Tasmania's Victoria Cross recipients, added during a 2003 enhancement.
