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.

100th Anniversary of Gallipoli LandingsPrint Page 
The large sculptural mural was gifted to the Buderim community to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli. It honours the sacrifice of Australia’s service men and women in world conflicts. The finished mural, measures 3 metres by 1 metre and weighs about 250 kilograms.
15 members of the Cottage’s Potters Group undertook the complicated process of designing, creating full scale templates, preparing over 300 kilograms of clay, sculpting and carving, applying colour, kiln firing and assembly of approximately 500 sections of the mural.
