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.
30th Anniversary of World Expo 88Print Page 
The plaque commemorates the 30th Anniversary of World Expo 88.
As part of the anniversary, the stacked Expo 88 "Australia" sign was unveiled on 26 October 2018 , with the large horizontal "Australia" sign unveiled by Ken Done and Sallyanne Atkinson on 28 October 2018. The iconic signs painted by artist Ken Done for Brisbane's Expo '88 were unveiled in the historical village after an eight-month mission to save and restore them. The signs are made from mild steel and were built as a short-term product for Expo 88.
