The Donald Campbell Obelisk

Landmarks and Buildings

The Obelisk records the famous English speedster, Donald Campbell, back in 1964 attempted to break the world water speed record on Lake Bonney, (he was unsuccessful). He reached 347.5 km/h but the lake was too small and the waves created by the speeding vehicle were too dangerous. The obelisk is located on the foreshore of Lake Bonney.
