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.

DRIK DRIK, Saturday. — "Back to Dartmoor" celebrations opened yesterday with a "back to school." There was a large attendance of local and former residents. Inclement weather somewhat marred the day. A welcome was given by Mr. Fink, head teacher, and Mr. Scholfield, M.P., opened the celebrations. The roll call and "back to school" sessions were led by ex-teachers, including Mr. Bond, M.L.A. Mr. George Greenham received a presentation for the oldest boy present, and Mrs. E. Dowling for the oldest girl. Mr. J. Richards, district inspector, performed the opening of the soldiers' memorial gate and unveiling of the honor roll, erected with funds subscribed by old scholars.
Calisthenics by members of the girls' gymnasium, maypole by junior and senior ' girls, school games and community singing were items of interest. Prizes were awarded to Miss Cook for best-dressed girl, Mr. P. Allen for best-dressed boy, and Mrs. G. Kerr, best excuse for absence.
Age (Melbourne), 18 November 1935.
