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.

Cross of SacrificePrint Page 
The Cross of Sacrifice commemorates those from the District who served in World War One.
The Mid-Western Regional Council erected the memorial to replace an avenue of trees that had been planted in Horatio Street, Mudgee to honour soldiers from the Mudgee district who fought and died in the great war of 1914-1918. Those trees were removed after their condition deteriorated with age. The trees were planted on the 24th August 1918.
Although the weather was showery and cold, close upon 300 people accepted the invitation of the Cudgegong Council, and were present on Saturday afternoon at the planting of an avenue of trees in Horatio-street, leading from the town boundary to Sydney road. The avenue which is to be known as Memory Drive, is planted in remembrance of district soldiers who have fallen while on active service and of others serving abroad with the Australian forces.
The Bathurst Times (NSW), 28 August 1918.
