点评:It's a stunning rotunda and located centrally in town, so you can't miss seeing it even if you are driving through. Erected in 1903 it is there in commemoration of the glorious reign of her late majesty Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria passed away two years earlier and still she was remembered by the towns folk.
It was designed by Ballarat architects Clegg and Miller and built by Stevenson Brothers in 1903 at a cost of around £300.
The clock that surmounts this memorial was presented by Rear Admiral Bridges of Trawalla. Rear-Admiral Bridges entered the Royal Navy in 1853, at theage of 13 years, as a naval cadet.Rear-Admiral Bridges was a splendid type of an English gentleman. Adapting himself to Australian country life he became a successful pastoralist. The Trawalla estate, near Beaufort, was purchased by him in 1887, and when he retired from the navy he took up his residence on this properly.

它由巴拉瑞特建筑师克莱格和米勒设计,由史蒂文森兄弟于 1903 年建造,耗资约 300 英镑。
这座纪念碑上方的时钟是由特拉瓦拉海军少将布里奇斯赠送的。 1853 年,时年 13 岁的布里奇斯少将作为一名海军学员进入皇家海军。布里奇斯少将是一位出色的英国绅士。为了适应澳大利亚的乡村生活,他成为了一名成功的牧民。他于 1887 年购买了博福特附近的特拉瓦拉庄园,当他从海军退役后,他就在此定居。
