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.

The Lions Park was established to commemorate 50 years of Lionism in the world and 20 years of Lionism in Australia. The park was refurbished in 2017 to commemorate 100 years of Lionism in the World and 70 years of Lionism in Australia.
Lions Clubs International (LCI) is an international non-political service organisation established originally in 1917 in Chicago, Illinois, by Melvin Jones.
