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.

Yaroma StoryPrint Page 

A ceramic mosaic commemorates the original Moreton Bay Fig tree, a local icon 40metres high with a 2 metre trunk that was once part of a dense rainforest. The location was also an important Aboriginal site, a birthing tree, a food gathering site, a meeting place, a shelter for the homeless and an embodiment of the Yaroma story.
A reconciliation project for the 30th anniversary of the recognition of Aboriginal citizenship.
