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.
Caroline Clark Memorial GardenPrint Page 
The garden commemorates all those children buried in unmarked graves within the West Terrace Cemetery. It is named in honour of Caroline Clark, the 19th century philanthropist and children's rights campaigner.
A plaque was placed in the garden in July 2015 listing the names of some of those children who were buried in unmarked graves in the cemetery.

How precious their memories still
Plaque :
From the mid-1800s onwards many children were committed to the care of the State as neglected or destitute and placed in institutions or foster care.
Many of those who died while in care were buried in unmarked graves in this cemetery.
The names listed below have been identified through researching surviving records.
They represent hundreds of other unnamed children for whom no records can be found.
This plaque was laid in loving memory of all these children.
