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.

Kanowna Honour RollPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One.
The townsite of Kanowna is 18 kilometres north-east and gold was discovered there in 1893. The population reached 12,000 in 1905. The gold was mined out and by 1952 the town was abandoned.
Note: The roll was originally located in the Goldfields War Museum which was devastated by an earthquake in 2010. It was relocated temporarily to the Kalgoorlie Town Hall. The Goldfields Museum reopened in the Boulder Town Hall on the 7th January 2019.
