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.

Aramac Memorial Park & Gates Print Page 
The park and gates commemorate those who served in World War Two.
The Memorial Park and Gates were officially opened on the 18th October 1947 by Mr. G.H.Devries, Member for Gregory. The Memorial Gates of wrought iron are recessed between concrete pillars on which are granite tablets inscribed with the names of the enlisted men from Aramac and district. Mrs Stobo, wife of the Chairman of the Aramac Shire read out the names inscribed on the tablets and during the Reveille unveiled the tablets.
As a grand finale to the opening ceremony, the spectators were treated to a demonstration of a maypole dance by 16 of the smaller school girls under the direction of Mrs O. Williams and Mrs Glover. Mr G. T. Browne a former councillor initiated the establishment of the park which was designed by Mr G. C. Wilson, consulting engineer.
