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.

Avenue of HonourPrint Page 
An avenue of trees was planted in memory of those from the district who served in World War One.
On Saturday, 3rd August the completion and dedication of the Avenue of Honor was carried out at Maroona in the presence of a large number of spectators and willing workers, when 30 trees were planted and protected by substantial guards. The honor of planting the first tree was conferred on Mrs J. Mollison, when Mr W. D. Dawson, in a pointed short speech explained the object of the movement, and congratulated the the voluntary workers on the thought that inspired tha movement for such an avenue must be a permanent memorial of honor and respect, and when fully developed the avenue with its beautiful shade would stand as a true symbol of the true fruits of victory.
It is intended later on to have an official opening. The ladies, in their usual efficient style, during the afternoon provided afternoon tea for the workers for which the committee wish to specially thank them.
