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.
Shiralee Memorial Wall Print Page 
Shiralee Memorial Wall commemorates lost seamen.
Following the loss of the trawler Shiralee with all hands in 1978, a wall was constructed as a memorial to all seamen who had sailed from Eden and were lost at sea and whose bodies were not recovered. The memorial also includes a poem by P. Dangerfield. A number of individual memorial plaques are also attached to the wall.

THE SHIRALEE MEMORIAL WALL
Following The Loss Of the Trawler "Shiralee"
With All Hands On The 10th August 1978,
The People Of Eden Had This Wall Constructed
To Serve As A Memorial To All Seamen Who
Have Sailed From This Port, Were Lost At Sea,
And Have Never Returned.

And Follow Their Trade On Great Waters,
These Men Have Seen The Works Of God,
And His Wonders In The Deep."
Psalm 107
