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.

Avenue of HonourPrint Page 
The Avenue of Honour consists of English Elm trees planted along Old Sale Road, from Brandy Creek Road to Buln Buln School.
Originally 60 trees were planted to commemorate World War One with a picket fence to protect them. The planting commenced on the 27th July 1918.
The "Avenue of Honor" to the men who have enlisted from the Nilma district is to be commenced on Wednesday afternoon, and we understand that a similar function is to be held at Buln Buln on Saturday afternoon.
