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.
Condamine River MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates those who died in the Condamine River.
The monument consists of a stone cairn and the boat that was donated by the local Member of Parliament, H. M. Nelson, in 1892. This, the old flood boat or "Condamine Queen", was used until 1923 when the Murilla Shire Council replaced the boat with a small ferry boat.
Since the early days of settlement, the Condamine River has claimed more lives than any other Australian River.
