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.

This plaque was unveiled on 22nd January 2017, by the Honourable Jay Weatherill MP Premier of South Australia.
The plaque commemorates the centenary of the Pompoota Hall, built as a school and community facility on the Pompoota Training Farm.
The hall was officially opened on 22nd January 1917, by the Honourable Crawford Vaughan, Premier and Minister of Education.
The farm was established to train returning World War 1 servicemen in agricultural pursuits so that they could take up the land through the Soldiers Settlement Scheme and support themselves and their families.
