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 Memorial HallPrint Page 
The hall was erected to commemorate those who served in World War One. The foundation stone was laid in 1924 and the hall was opened in 1925.
On Friday evening last a meeting of the building committee of the Nuriootpa Institute Memorial Hall, was held in the Institute to make arrangements for laying the foundation stone on Monday, June 9th. Mr W. Coulthard, president of the Institute and chairman of the Building committee, who presented the block of land in Murray Street on which the hall is being built, and who has been a very enthusiastic worker, will lay the stone, which has been generously presented by Mr. C. J. Habich of Nuriootpa.
The Members for the district, and the President and Secretary of the R.S. & S.I.L.A. have been invited, and the visitors will be introduced by Mr. Jas. A. Craig. A football match against a Norwood team will be played on the oval in the afternoon, and there will be a dance in the evening.
