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.

This memorial rock was placed here to mark the one hundred years of St Anne's Church Merriwa, built and opened in 1881.
It was consecrated and the stone altar dedicated on October 10th 1981. May this piece of local basalt remind the people of this parish of the rock-like faith and devotion of the pioneers of this district who bought the faith and its practice here.
Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church.
I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven
Mt 16: 18-19
