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.

Albany Creek State School ANZAC MemorialPrint Page 
The ANZAC Memorial commemorates centenary of ANZAC and honours all men and women of the defence force past, present and future. The memorial is a mosaic artwork featured in a memorial garden.
Over 1000 men, women and children placed tiles to create the artwork. Every student of Albany Creek State School, proudly placed a tile down. As they did this, the importance of the moment was explained to them. A call out was made to any defence force in the area, in fact any families or community members, to come forth and place a tile. Everyone was given the opportunity. Entire families would arrive some afternoons to place a tile.
The mosaic features the Australian Flag, a cross and a soldier. The foreground is a field of poppies.
The Centenary of Anzac 2014 to 2018 was an important period of national commemoration for Australia. Marking 100 years since our involvement in World War I, the Anzac Centenary was a time to honour the service and sacrifice of our original ANZACs, and the generations of Australian servicemen and women who have defended our values and freedoms, in wars, conflicts and peace operations throughout a Century of Service.
