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 GardensPrint Page 
The gardens commemorate those from Prospect who died in service or were killed in action in World War One. A Memorial Arch stands at the entrance to the gardens.
A sub-committee was appointed by the the Prospect City Council at its last meeting to make arrangements for the opening of a memorial archway at the new soldiers' gardens near the Prospect Oval. It is expected that the ceremony will be held on Armistice Day. The reserve has been beautified by the council to commemorate the valor of war heroes.
