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.
Fallen Jockeys Memorial Print Page 

The jockey in the memorial in a sense anonymous, is based on famed rider Hughie Cairns who was killed in a hurdle race at Moonee Valley in 1929.
Australian Jockeys are elite athletes who quite literally place their lives on the line every time they compete in a race. Sadly, serious injuries are a frequent occurrence and over 800 riders have lost their lives since racing first began.
