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.

Men from Snowy River Route March Honour Roll Print Page 
The delegates were generally favourable to Goulburn being the final stage for the route march. The Hon. A. Chapman said that he was in favour of the proposal, as he thought the result from a recruiting view would be better than if they were to be marched to Sydney. The motion was passed that Goulburn be the depot for the terminus. The distance will be about 225 miles, and it is anticipated that the men will arrive in the camp about the 29th of January, 1916. About 25 recruits are already waiting for the march.
