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.

Fraser Avenue TreesPrint Page 
The lemon-scented gums lining Fraser Avenue from the main entrance to the restaurant precinct were planted in 1937 and each tree has a memorial plaque to prominent Western Australian citizens commemorated in 1929, the centenary of colonial establishment.
A notable array of lemon-scented eucalypis is set on each side of Fraser-avenue leading from the vicinity of the State war memorial in King's Park to the main entrance. Planted in 1937-38, they should eventually attain a height of 100ft. In the early part of this century the avenue was flanked by red-flowered eucalypts.
To mark the State's centenary in 1929 the number of these was doubled and at the foot of each was set a plaque bearing the name of a member of the committee organising the centennial observance. Disease, however, caused the uprooting of all these trees except an immune group near the rotunda tearoom and the now-flourishing lemon-scented gums took their place 12 years ago.
The West Australian (Perth ) , 17th December 1949.
