The plaque commemorates the centenary of the Point McLeay Mission Church. The Mission Church currently features on the Australian $50 note.
Point McLeay Mission was founded on the shores of Lake Alexandrina in 1859 by the Aborigines' Friends Association for the Aboriginal people of the Lower Lakes. George Taplin, the Congregational minister, was its first administrator. Following Government administration from 1916, Point McLeay was returned to the Ngarrindjeri people in 1974 and renamed Raukkan in 1982.
Note : As at 8-March-2019, the plaque has been removed from the wall.
