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.

Bobinawarrah Memorial HallPrint Page 
Thehall was officially opened in 27th January 1926 to commemorate those who served in World War One. It was built from bricks saved when the nearby school was demolished.
A school at Bobinawarrah, built by residents in 1871 has been made available for a soldiers' memorial hall. The old building will be removed and a new hall erected on the site. A design has been approved, and a tender let for the work.

Wangaratta. Recollections of the early history of the district were revived at the opening of the soldiers' memorial hall at Bobinawarrah on Wednesday evening. The "Farmers Five," the pioneers of farming in the district, settled on land adjoining the hall. In the early 80's the Kelly gang camped nearby and obtained supplies of food from Mr. J. Wallace, school master, who taught in a school which occupied the site of the hall.
