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.

In the shadow of our sorrow we find a light,
With the dawn comes hope,
With the setting sun, time to heal

The Bali Memorial
On 12 October 2002 terrorism claimed the lives of 202 people on the Indonesian Island of Bali. Of these 88 were Australians including 16 Western Australians. Many more were injured.
We remember the lost, comfort the injured and honour those who assisted in this time of need.
This is a place of reflection for all those who have experienced loss and grief.
The main axis of the memorial aligns with the sunrise on 12 October each year when the dawn`s light will pass through the memorial space to illuminate the commemorative plaque. A second axis provides a focused view of the Australian flag, Swan River and the Darling Ranges.
Through the seasons of this land we remember them
We honour the endurance of those who survived
We cherish the spirit and unity of all those who came to help
May you find serenity in this sacred place
