| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Cape Dombey Obelisk |
| Registered Name |
Obelisk |
| Significance |
The Obelisk at Cape Dombey demonstrates Robe's importance to the early pastoral development of South Australia, and in particular, the South East from the 1840s until the 1860s and as an arrival point for many migrants from Britain, Ireland, and China to the colony. The Obelisk was built in 1855, during Robe's heyday as a key intercolonial and international port assisting merchant and migrant vessels to find safe passage. The Obelisk is an important representative of the role such structures played in preventing shipwrecks, at a time when maritime transportation was fundamental to the success of the colony. |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
