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.

Japanese War CemeteryPrint Page 
The Japanese War Cemetery contains the remains of all Japanese prisoner of wars who died in Australia. The Cemetery contains graves of the Japanese involved in the Prisoner of War breakout during World War Two, as well as other internees and those involved with the battle of Darwin.
The land was ceded to Japan in 1963. A large black granite monument dominates the Cemetery.
