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.
Pearlers Memorial ScreenPrint Page 
A carved stained timber screen in a Gothic style commemorates the pearlers who lost their lives in the April and December 1908 cyclones.
In April 1908 forty-four luggers were destroyed and fifty lives lost, and nine months later a cyclone destroyed another four vessels and fifty lives.
