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.

Legacy TreePrint Page 
The tree commemorates those who served in World War One.
The tree was grown from a seedling from the 24 Battalion Tree at Melbourne`s Shrine of Remembrance. The 24th Battalion served in World War One. The tree was destroyed by a storm in 2016 and a new tree was planted in time for the ANZAC service on the 24th April 2016.
The original plaque is still located in the Memorial Grove.
