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 commemorates those from Bridgewater and District who served in World War Two.
An avenue of trees was planted in Bridgewater on Saturday last in honor of all men who have enlisted from the district. Mr. F. Halleday, M.L.C., was the chief spokesman. The avenue runs parallel with the railway on the north side, and 42 trees were planted, all being subscribed. Afternoon tea was served by the ladies, each of whom planted a tree. Mr. L. J. Heron is the energetic secretary.
Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser (SA), 15 August 1940.
