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.

A monument commemorates those from the University who served in both World Wars.
This memorial, of Stawell stone, was built in 1926 to honour those in the University who served or died in World War One. The memorial was unveiled by Sir John Monash on the 24th April 1926. It originally stood at the head of the main drive but was relocated near the Law School and Wilson Hall. The relocation occurred in 1972.
