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.
Mundubbera War MemorialPrint Page 
The War Memorial was originally erected by the residents of Mundubbera and District to commemorate those who served in World War One. Additional plaques have been added to commemorate those who have fought in other wars and conflicts.
The memorial was unveiled on the 27th May 1928 by Mr. M.J.Kirwan, Minister for Works. The proceedings opened with the schoolchildren singing "Abide With Me". Mr Kirwan in his address stated that 26 per cent of the men fit for service in the Mundubberra district enlisted and out of that number no fewer than 23 per cent paid the supreme sacrifice. The landing at Gallipoli was recognised as the greatest military exploit of history.
The Brisbane Courier, 25th May 1928.

MUNDUBBERA WAR MEMORIAL
This memorial was built in 1927 and was unveiled in 1928. It was originally funded by the citizens of the district to commemorate the World War I soldiers. The main block weighed two tons and had to be positioned using a tripod and chains. Today it commemorates all those who lived here and gave their lives in the defence of their country.
