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.

Murray Shire Council War Memorial Print Page 
The building commemorates those from the Murray Shire who died in service or were killed in action during World War Two. Extensions were made to the building in 1992.
Councillors Dolan and Lea were appointed yesterday to represent the Murray Shire Council at a public meeting at Mathoura on June 23 at which the building of a suitable memorial for those from the shire who paid the supreme sacrifice in the 1939 - 45 war will be discussed. The meeting has been called to decide the most suitable memorial to build and to form a committee to raise finance for the work. The memorial will be chosen from among, (a) Baby Health Centre rooms; (b) rest rooms; (c) Childrens playground; and (d) Public library.
