Nicole Hasham on a Christian monument a decade in the making
Today, journalist Nicole Hasham, with her piece from a recent edition of The Monthly.
On top of a hill in a remote Aboriginal community, hours from Alice Springs, is an unmissable sight: a 20 metre high, steel Christian cross.
It’s a monument that was a decade in the making, cost 2 million dollars to build, and has attracted the interest of Hollywood star Mel Gibson. But despite the grandiosity, it’s a project that hasn’t been without its controversies.
