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.

Dedication
In Remembrance
In honour of the men and women of the Australian Merchant Navy, who sailed from South Australia operating the W Class vessels - the Wandilla, Warilda and Willochra - as troopships, supply, transport and hospital ships.
To the dedicated members of the Australian Merchant Navy - seafarers, doctors, nurses and medical staff - who supported our ANZAC troops through the Gallipoli campaign by ensuring supplies and evacuation to Egypt for wounded comrades.
