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.
62nd Anniversary of St John`s Anglican ChurchPrint Page 
Two trees planted by Lady Gowrie commemorate the 62nd anniversary of St John`s Anglican Church.
St John's Anglican Parish was established in 1882. The original building, which was licensed for use on 16th June 1882, extended to the present chancel steps and cost ₤1,200. The idea of adding classrooms to the building for a school was abandoned when state aid was withdrawn from denominational schools from the end of 1882.
Lady Gowrie planted a tree in the grounds of the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Balmain North, yesterday to mark its 62nd anniversary. A second tree was planted by her for Lord Gowrie, who was unable to attend.
