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.

"Spiral Ascent" (Bradfield Park Royal Australian Air Force Station)Print Page 
The memorial sculpture "Spiral Ascent" by artist Graham Chalcroft, represents the flight of the Wedge-tailed eagle, the insignia of the Royal Australian Air Force and was unveiled as part of Ku-ring-gai Council`s Centenary celebrations. The sculpture commemorates Bradfield Park Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Station.
Bradfield Park RAAF Station was partly located on the site now known as Queen Elizabeth Reserve from 1940 to 1946. During that time, more than 200,000 members of the RAAF and the Women`s Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF) received training on their way to service in World War Two.
