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.
St Denys ChurchPrint Page 
The church is dedicated to St Deny`s, the patron Saint of France.
St Denys was built in 1923 for a Soldier Settlement at Amiens, where over 700 returned soldiers were allocated blocks in what became the Pikedale Soldier Settlement.
Altar ornaments came from the Australian base at Le Havre and are believed to originate from the Cathedral in Amiens, France, as a token of gratitude for Aussie soldiers in France during the 1914 -18 war.
