This one appears more difficult than I had thought. I wonder if others are still searching or have given up. Does any one want a clue?

Yeees, please

For me it looks like a stadium in the background. Camel races?

I thought I saw the fence yesterday, but there was no such monument

. The light masts are missing, too.

OK then, a bit of a clue that I hope helps.

SPOILER: Click to show

The site is at the end of the first major stage of a railway that was built with the very valuable aid of camels. It would have been very difficult to build any of the early stages of the railway without them. Please only consider the terminus, not the intermediate stages, of which there were quite a few.

Well found Raven, Curious and Utapao, as well as those who found the memorial re-clue. Congratulations all!!

The answer is adjacent to the railway in Alice Springs. In Google Maps, when areas with Street View is turned on, go to the point closest to the railway.
