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.
Declan`s PlacePrint Page 
Plaque on park bench pays tribute to the Machans Beach community for their support and kindness during the disappearnce of Declan Crouch. The bench and plaque were placed by Declan's family in his memory.
Declan disappeared in March 2011, uniting the Cairns community in the hope the 13-year-old would be found alive. He was found dead near his Machans Beach home in June after taking his own life.
A tree was also planted in Declan's honour on The Esplanade in Cairns.
