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 trees were originally planted in 1947 to commemorate those who served in World War Two. The original trees were destroyed in the Ash Wednesday fire of 1983.
New trees were planted and a cairn erected in 1985 as part of a project to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Victoria.
