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.

Wangerriburra CairnPrint Page 
As no governemnt funding was forthcoming for the construction of Duck Creek Rod, the local authority decided to finance it by auctioning sites along the road. On these sites buyers could erect cairns of their own choice. Father Enright purchased a site to erect a cairn as a token of remembrance to the local Aboriginal tribe, who had lived on a stretch of land approximately 30 by 15 miles.
