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.
30-November-2020 : We are aware that some organisations, individuals or companies may have received an email requesting donations to assist Monument Australia. These emails are not authorised by Monument Australia and we do not know the person who sent them. You should not make any payments to any bank account details in the email. We only use the Paypal “Donate” button on this webpage to accept donations.
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.

Kojonup Memorial HallPrint Page 
The Kojonup Memorial Hall commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One. The foyer features an stained glass ceiling and a marble scroll of honour bearing the names of those who died in service or were killed in action and the local governing body.
The official opening which was performed by Major-General Sir Talbot Hobbs took place in front of more than 1000 people. The building was completed at a cost of £5000 which had been entirely subscribed by the people of the district.
