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.

Dedication
Fiddler's Green
Fiddler's Green commemorates the cultural and musical history of Port Fairy as a fishing port and place of music. It reflects the spiritual memory of all the seafarers and fishermen who worked the seas over the life of this village and community.
Fiddler's Green is a legendary supposed afterlife, where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing, and dancers who never tire. In maritime folklore it is a kind of afterlife for sailors who have served at least 50 years at sea.
