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.

Soldiers MemorialPrint Page 
The Soldiers Memorial forms the gates to the Yackandandah Gardens, and was constructed after World War One. The wrought iron fence was forged locally in Meurant's Foundry, and the fence pillars list 216 names of those who served in World War One.
The memorial gardens were opened by Mrs W. Ramsay on the 9th June 1924 and the memorial tablets containing the honour roll of the men of the district was unveiled Mr H. Beardmore M.L.A. after a prayer of commemoration to the fallen soldiers and the playing of "The Last Post".
