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.
South African (Boer) War MemorialPrint Page 
The fountain commemorates those from the District who served in the South African (Boer) War.
It was originally situated in a memorial park flanked by four small cannons and bounded by an iron palisade fence. It was moved to its current site some time in the 1930s.
A committee of ladies has a fund of £95 17s 10d towards the erection of a memorial fountain in honor of St. Arnaud’s soIdiers who took part in the Boer war. It has been decided to invite applications for designs for a fountain, the cost of which is not to exceed £l00, Sir W. Bray, sen., guaranteeing to contribute the balance to make up that amount.
