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.

Yarra Junction Avenue of Honour Print Page 
Upper Yarra Museum and the Upper Yarra RSL planned a project to replant a memorial avenue of trees for the Anzac Centenary. The original memorial trees were positioned along one side of the Yarra Junction Sports Ground near the memorial gates. The trees featured individual picket fence guards and copper name plates with the names of the World War One fallen. The new avenues are planted at the station sites along the old Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail.
