Ballandean Pyramid

The pyramid was built after Stewart Morland spoke ken stubberfield what was to be done with the surplus amount of granite rocks that were excavated for land tillage, humorously suggesting that a pyramid could be constructed. Four hours later Morland decided to build the pyramid and contrat a cost of more than $100,000. The pyramid base was to be 30 metres wide. Landscaping of the base was completed early and the rocks were collected by a dump truck and brought to the site. The first three levels of rocks were laid first by a large excavator and then manoeuvred appropriately into place by a smaller excavator. As the pyramid rose, a makeshift dirt ramp was built to negotiate the height and the construction vehicles used this access ramp to complete the pyramid. At the end of construction, the ramp was removed by the excavator. The pyramid, which weighs approximately 7500 tonnes, took eight months to build. ==Services==

An Anzac Day service was held at the site. The Last Post was played from midway up the pyramid and a flag was posted at the top. ==See also==
