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.

Dedication
Cairns & District Roll of Honor
[ Names ]
Above are the 1272 names of the men and women who enlisted for the Great War from Cairns, of these 197 did not return
to their families and friends.
They paid the supreme sacrifice.
There were several hundreds more who answered the Call to Arms from small towns, mining camps, stations and
localities scattered across the Atherton Tablelands and Far North Region.
Lest We Forget.
