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.

REMOUNT PARK
A memorial to the Australian Light Horse
On the site of this park there once stood a Remount Depot for the Australian Light Horse
This memorial avenue traces the path followed by the ALH regiments during the campaigns of the First World War.
The delta at the start of the avenue symbolises the Nile Delta in Egypt where the active life of the ALH began.
The texture and colour of the pathway is that of the desert over which the Lighthorsemen fought.
Along the route the vegetation represents that found in the places where the ALH campaigns occurred. Eucalypts along the avenue are those also found in Egypt where the troops awaited there initial orders.
In the Parade Ground the sculpture "Last Farewell" captures the bond between the lighthorseman and his mount.
