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.

The Bay Rock Lighthouse
The Bay Rock Lighthouse, built in 1886, was originally situated on the western side of Magnetic Island, and, by safely guiding small ships, played a large part in the war effort.
It has been restored by Queensland Transport as part of their commitment to the "Australia Remembers" celebrations.
