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.

Memorial HallPrint Page 
Orange, Wednesday.
Alderman E. T. M'Neilly has raised £4000 for a soldiers' memorial hall. The Memorial Queen competition netted £1993 and this added to the £2000 already collected, gives the amount desired. The State Governor will lay the foundation stone on May 24.
Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW),
