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.

Wisemans Ferry Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One.
Mrs. McLean, wife of the Wiseman's Ferry Public School teacher, unveiled the Roll of Honor of our Hawkesbury boys, prior to their departure to the Shoalhaven district, where Mr. McLean commenced duties as teacher. They were tendered a send-off at the Ferry hall, and Mr. McLean is to be presented with a gold watch worth 18 guineas (notice being too short to have it at the send-off), and Mrs. McLean with a silver cake dish by the Ladies' Committee of the Wiseman's Soldiers' Comfort League. There are about 24 names on the Roll, and some of the brave lads have laid their guns down to fight no more. Mr. McLean is going to teach in the school where he himself was taught when a boy, and near where he also owns a farm. His son, Allan, is recovering from his wounds, received at the front, and expects to again face the fire shortly.
Gosford Times and Wyong District Advocate (NSW),
