Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
City of Mandurah War MemorialPrint Page 
A monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
The design was created by architects Hames Sharley, and uses large white pillars to commemorate the loss of life, the wounded and those that returned - and their ultimate quest for peace. The east / west orientation of the works is designed to capture the axis of the sun on ANZAC Day.
At dawn on ANZAC Day the rising sun lights up the columns and create a temporary guiding light to the highest peak of the memorial, which will be further enhanced by the line of dark shadows cast along the axis.
