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.

Kerrie Memorial TreesPrint Page 

The trees commemorate those who served in World War One. The Red Cedar and Douglas Fir trees, which surround the former Kerrie Primary School No. 1290, were planted after World War One for every man who served in that war.
The trees are an unusual example of commemorative trees planted as a copse, instead of the traditional avenue of honour.
