The drinking fountain commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Brunswick branch of the Australian Natives Association.
The Australian Natives Association (ANA) began in Melbourne in 1871 as a benefit or friendly society to encourage thrift and educational improvement among those born in Australia, 'natives'. Non-sectarian and politically impartial, it later campaigned for political reform and patriotic causes.
