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.

Murringo Memorial HallPrint Page 
The hall was erected to commemorate those from the district who served in World War One. Two marble tablets on either side of the entrance door list the names of those who fought in World War One and were unveiled by the mothers of fallen soldiers at the opening of the hall in October 1928.
The Soldiers Memorial Hall was erected beside the old old stone hall of earlier days (originally a mechanics institute) which became an annexe and supper room. The foundation stone for the hall was laid on ANZAC Day 1928 by Mrs Margaret Johnson. The hall cost £1745 and was officially opened by Major Reid, MC, MLA on October 17th 1928.
