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.

The Hon Frank Sartor MP,
Minister for Planning, Minister for
Redfern Waterloo and Minister for the
Arts launched this replica flagstaff on
Saturday 7 June 2008 to mark the 150th
Anniversary of Sydney Observatory.
This flagstaff is dedicated to the memory of Bruce
Reid [1922 - 2005] who had a
lifelong passion and enthusiasm for
maritime history. The restoration of this
signal mast was made possible through
the generous support of the
Bruce and Joy Reid
Foundation.
