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.

The Gallipoli PinePrint Page 
The Lone Pine was a solitary tree on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, which marked the site of the Battle of Lone Pine in 1915. Pines which are planted as a memorial to the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in Gallipoli are also known as "Lone Pines" or "Gallipoli Pines", referencing the original tree.

Dedication
THE GALLIPOLI PINE
This pine tree is a "Grandchild" of the Lone Pine at Gallipoli.
In 1915, three brothers were fighting together at Gallipoli. One was killed and his brother brought home a pine cone as a memento of the place where he died. His mother shook the seeds out of the cone and grew two trees. . .
One she sent to the War Memorial in Canberra in memory of her son and all the sons killed in the Great War. The tree flourished in Canberra and this tree has propagated from it. This is a link to the men of this district who fought at Gallipoli.
