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.
Parish of Cooks RiverPrint Page 

The Tablet which was unveiled on the 96th anniversary of the church commemorates Captain James Cook's association with the naming of the river and subsequently the Parish of Cook's River.
The historic church of St. Peter, Cook's River, is holding its 96th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone by Governor Gipps in 1838, with a three-day festival, starting on Saturday. Rear-Admiral Ford will unveil an "obelisk" to the memory of Captain Cook, and a flag will also be "broken."
Sun (Sydney), 5 July 1934.
