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.
January 2011 FloodsPrint Page 
A plaque commemorates the people of Charlton and the volunteers who assisted in the January 2011 floods.
High intensity rainfall between 12–14 January 2011 caused major flooding across much of the western and central parts of the Australian state of Victoria. In Charlton, more than 400 houses were flooded after the Avoca River broke its banks. An electrical substation was also affected, which caused power outages to 8,000 properties in the surrounding towns.
