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.
Memorial GatesPrint Page 
The gates were erected to commemorate those who served in the South African (Boer) War.
The gates were erected by public subscription in memory of the patriotism of those who left the district to fight in the Boer War. The gates were opened by the Premier, Mr Irvine on the 23rd August 1903. Out of forty entries to an Australia wide design competition the local entry was judged the most appropriate. The gates were erected at a cost of £270 .
The Argus,(Melbourne), 25th August 1903.
