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.

Barmera Memorial HallPrint Page 
The hall commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One. The foundation stone was laid by F. McMillan Esq. M.P. on the 6th July 1929.
The Barmera Memorial Hall was opened by the Minister of Irrigation (Mr. Cowan). The building occupies a prominent position in the main avenue and is the largest the stone building in the district. The foundation stone was laid by Mr. McMillan, member for the district, in July, building operations having commenced in May. The stone used for the front was quarried at Spring Cart Gully, between Berri and Renmark, and the local quarries supplied stone for the other walls.
