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.
Police Crash Site MemorialPrint Page 

The monument commemorates four police officers who died when their light aeroplane plane crashed as it was about to land at Newman Airport in January 2001.
Those killed were Constable Gavin Ashley Capes, Senior Constable Philip Ruland, First Class Constable David Dewar and Senior Constable Donald Everett. All four men died instantly on impact and the crash remains the worst loss of life in a single accident in the history of the Western Australia Police.
