The quest

A two-minute stop at Douglas Obelisk. One date off the metal. Then back to the sidewalk.

Steps

  1. Stand on public ground at Douglas Obelisk.
  2. Read the plaque. Copy one date and one name.
  3. Leave. Do not climb it.

Why this is on the board

Douglas Obelisk (south-east of centre, Victoria) is how this part of Victoria remembers something. You get one date and one name — a piece of the street that does not show up in a listicle. Mapped under “Douglas Obelisk.”

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
