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.
