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.

SWAN HILL, Wednesday. The golden jubilee of the Swan Hill branch of the A.N.A., established in 1890, was celebrated today and tonight. Many visitors from various parts of Victoria were present, including the chief president of the A.N .A. (Mr. Hughes). In the afternoon a marble memorial arch to the pioneers was unveiled before a large attendance of the public and school children. The visitors were welcomed by the president of the Swan Hill branch (Cr. G. E. Kurrle), and the memorial was handed over to the borough council. Visitors attended a civic reception by the mayor and borough councillors. A Jubilee smoke social in the town hall this evening was attended by 400 branch members and visitors.
