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.

A monument commemorates all those who are buried in the cemetery.
God`s Acre is situated at the main entrance to Archerfield Aerodrome. The site was dedicated as a cemetery when Volney Grenier, aged 16, was killed in a fall from his horse during a fox hunt on 26 October 1859. His grieving parents, Thomas and Mary Ann Grenier, buried him at this site and set aside a small area of 3/4 acre from their property as a family cemetery. The last burial in the cemetery was for Miss Olive Grenier who was buried on 16 July 1980. The carved Memorial sign is a gift from the Parker family, and Ron Parker created the sign for the God`s Acre Restoration Committee. The obelisk holds a brass plaque on which is inscribed the names of all those people who are interred in God`s Acre.
