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.

Wiradjuri AboriginesPrint Page 

The name Grabben Gullen comes from a Wiradjuri Aboriginal word meaning ‘small water’.
A cairn of stones and more than 200 trees from eleven species of eucalypt have been planted to commemorate the Wiradjuri Aborigines whose traditional land the village was built on.
