The Great Obelisk
The Great Obelisk (similar to Cleopatra's Needle in London) looks to be of Egyptian origin. However it has nothing to do with Ancient Egypt but a lot to do with the way the citizens of Sydney felt about the city where they lived. It was erected as a 'stink pipe' to commemorate the opening of the underground sewerage system, part of the late 19th Century 'war against disease'.
