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.

Cudgen War MemorialPrint Page 
Cudgen War Memorial commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
Three brick columns with a triangular pyramid make up the centre of the monument. Two walls with plaques of inscriptions of the men from Cudgen who enlisted in the Great War are behind (those who lost their lives have a cross to the left of their name).
The street leading to the memorial is lined by Norfolk Island Pines, each dedicated to a life lost in the Great War. The bricks used came from the first Cudgen School building on the site in 1890, which was demolished in 1982. The bricks were specifically held for the cenotaph and it was built entirely by volunteers.
