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.
Nabiac War MemorialPrint Page 
The Nabiac War Memorial is an obelisk which commemorates those who have served in various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The memorial was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One. Marble tablets listing the names of those who served in World War Two and later conflicts were added to the memorial at a later date.
An impressive war memorial, bearing 200 names, was unveiled at Nabiac on Anzac Day before a large attendance. The structure, which stands in the centre of the town, is built of heavily reinforced concrete and marble. There is a hexagonal pedestal, on the facings of which appear the names of scenes of the soldiers' service-Gallipoli, Egypt, Palestine, France, Rabaul, and the words: "Lest We Forget." Surmounting this is another hexagon, on which are placed six marble slabs, containing the names of the soldiers who enlisted from the Wallamba watershed. Above this is a reinforced concrete shaft 14ft. long, tapering to the apex, on which is placed a marble Celtic cross. On the sides of this shaft and reaching over portion of the cross are two beautiful unsheathed bronze swords, each 7ft long. The unveiling ceremony was carried out by Mrs. R. Croker, mother of the contractor, Mr. R. Croker, of Hamilton.
