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.

In Poppy's Field - Remembrance GardenPrint Page 
The garden commemorates those who served in World War One. Funding was received in 2020 through the Anzac Community Grant Program.
The garden replicates the line of remembrance along Anzac Parade, Canberra from the War Memorial to Parliament House. The garden is positioned in line with the Heritage Building built in 1872 and school flagpoles. The garden contains a five metre mural with a black background and large red poppies representing each class in the school. Above the mural is a metal silhouette of the rising sun and the words "Lest We Forget". In front of the wall is a formal garden bed with Anzac roses planted behind five plaques with the names of five servicemen that the students researched and explored their connection to the community.
