| Details (Known As) |
John McDouall Stuart Monument |
| Registered Name |
John McDouall Stuart Monument |
| Significance |
In addition to commemorating the bold exploits of one of Australia's premier explorers, the monument to John McDouall Stuart is of heritage value for the manner it invokes the era of the exploration of the Australian continent's interior and the many consequences that flowed from this. These included the South Australian annexation of the Northern Territory, the construction of the Overland Telegraph and the pastoral penetration of the interior. The location of Stuart's monument is also significant in its present and original position, being located in Victoria Square. |
