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.
30-November-2020 : We are aware that some organisations, individuals or companies may have received an email requesting donations to assist Monument Australia. These emails are not authorised by Monument Australia and we do not know the person who sent them. You should not make any payments to any bank account details in the email. We only use the Paypal “Donate” button on this webpage to accept donations.
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.

Avenue of Honour Memorial & Honour Roll Print Page 
The sculptured memorial depicting the contribution made by the Australian Regular Army, the Special Forces Commando Regiment and the SAS in the conflict in Afghanistan. A plaque representing each individual soldier killed in the conflict is placed on an 'Honour Board' in close proximity to the Memorial.
In the vicinity of the memorial, a series of plaques containing poems and tributes have been placed on boulders in a landscaped area. Adjoining areas are landscaped to allow for visitors to enjoy the opportunity for reflection and emphasis will be directed to the living, natural, free, open aspects of the trees, location, water and the enhancement of the existing pristine environment.

Plaque :
These wings, one noticeably damaged, are in full flight and represent the courage and resilience of the Australian digger.
A symbol of their Undaunted Spirit !
The stones have been bought from Afghanistan by returning operators of 2 Commando Regiment.
Collected within a 20km radius of Camp Russell, Uruzgan Province Afghanistan and carried back as a worthy and befitting 'gesture' to their fallen brothers.
